February 4th is Cordova Ice Worm Day. Celebrate by having an ice-cold Ice Worm Cocktail.
The legendary Ice Worm is celebrated through many winter festivals in northern communities where winter is a cause for celebration. With no resident groundhog to view, Cordova, Alaska, on Prince William Sound, celebrates February 4 as Cordova Ice Worm Day, and the first February weekend as the Cordova Ice Worm Festival which begins with a parade lead by a 100-foot worm. Later in the season -- late March -- Faro, Yukon celebrates the Ice Worm Squirm, a festival that features ice sculptures, snow and ice games and much food.
Come see our own Scott Lockwood as he portrays 'Gooper" in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. March 14, 15 at 6:30. Dinner theater , Ridpath Hotel. 509-838-2711 for price info. March 24,25,26 at 7:30. Show only at The met Theater. $12.00 tickets. March 28,29. April 4,11. 6:30. Dinner theater, Bear Creek Lodge 509-238-9114 for info. All the shows will be good, but my personal favorite are the dinner theaters at Bear Creek Lodge at Mount Spokane. We put on the play Sylvia up there last summer. The owners enjoyed the play enough that he went through the trouble of putting a stage in the lodge to accomodate theater there. The atmosphere at the lodge makes for fun dinner shows. Gerri
ReplyDeleteHow many of you missed the great holiday yesterday? I was surprised I let this one slip by. In truth, I didn't know about it until Carlene told me how she celebrated it. Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Night (August 8) For ideas next year to celebrate the holiday, here is an informative web site: http://www.theplunge.com/partythemes/rpg/random2.asp?prev=x5f1d&partyid=14&et=23 John and Mary Evans Zucchini Alaska State Record

In looking at the calender, I see that August really is MY month. Just look at next week alone... August 12th is "Middle Child's Day". As a middle child, I understand that we don't get all the attention that the oldest child, or the youngest child gets, so it's good to see that we have our own special day to celebrate. The down side of this is that the very next day is August 13th, otherwise known as "Blame Someone Else Day". Since it goes against my grain to blame someone else, I am the victim on this one. That's ok, because everyone knows that when you're having a rough day, you drown your sorrows by eating IceCream... which brings us to August 14th, National Creamsicle Day. This is where I really excell. In fact, maybe we should make August 14th the day that we all meet at COLDSTONE for a small icecream family get-together ... say: 7:00ish?

ReplyDeleteEaster Calculator Paschal Moon = It's an imaginary full moon that is used to compute of the date of Easter. It is the 14th day of the moon, counting from its first appearance after conjunction (roughly speaking, conjunction is the dark of the moon). You can see the ecclesiastical moon table or use the easter calculator Here is the offical way easter is calculated Easter Sunday is first sunday after the paschal full moon The Paschal full moon is the first Ecclesiastical full moon after march 20th To calculate Easter take the current year divide it by 19. Then take the remainder and add 1 to it, this is called the golden number. Use the table below to calculate the paschal moon date. Easter will be the Sunday after that date.
