Oct. 9 - Wild & Scenic Film Festival @ Lincoln Theater

Join us Thursday, Oct. 9 for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival at Mt. Vernon's Lincoln Theater. This evening of short films will kick off with a reception with live music starting at 6 pm, followed by the film showing at 7 pm. We may get together for dinner beforehand if there's interest (leave a note in the comments).

"The Wild & Scenic Film Festival will feature short films that will delight the senses, inform our minds and help us appreciate nature and the struggles to protect it. Films will be selected from a collection of over 100 films shown at the annual film festival held in Nevada City, California.
These films capture the spirit of varying environmental movements across the globe and the relationship that they have to humanity and that humanity has to them. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival works with environmental groups across the globe to host On Tour events as a way to outreach into different communities and bring together a diverse audience.
The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging the community in restoring wild salmon populations for future generations. Salmon habitat enhancement is accomplished through habitat restoration, monitoring, and a wide variety of community outreach and education programs. Skagit Fisheries offers free educational programs to over 1,500 students each year. These opportunities get students out of their classrooms and learning hands-on real science and watershed exploration which otherwise would not be available and affordable to local schools. Funds raised will go towards supporting these important education programs, and will enable the program to continue to be offered free of charge to local schools."

You must buy your own tickets from the Lincoln Theater here. They are $20 ($25 at the door) with the proceeds going to Skagit Fisheries. There's a chance this will sell out, so get your tickets soon.

We will meet in front of the theater at 6:00 PM and go in en masse to find a place to sit. If you can't make it by 6, let us know in the comments and we'll save you seat.
