This Saturday, March 9th at 2:00 and 7:00, 7th Street Theater is taking you back to the 1920's.  At the special premier of the documentary "Grays Harbor Happenings: The Newsreels of C.D. Anderson,".  The historical film is produced by the UW Libraries in partnership with the 7th Street Theatre Association, the Aberdeen Museum of History and the Polson Museum.



Come out in your best 20's fashion and support the efforts of the UW Libraries Special Collections and the support of many other organizations including the Apex Foundation, the Grays Harbor Community Foundation, the UW Alumni Association and UWTV. 

A cardboard box of 35mm nitrate films discovered in a commercial storage unit in Seattle has been artfully restored showing life in small town Grays Harbor County. The amateur newsreels show local life and special events including Captain Kidd's Pirates Picnic, a local football match and the recreation of the S.S. Halco shipwreck. Interspersed with interviews with local Grays Harbor County historians and researchers, the film is a look back at the history of our area and a sure hit for a fun evening.


Tickets $7.00 available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and at Brown Paper Tickets (harbor.brownpapertickets.com)
