It’s been a while since my last post and so I thought I would share this picture of one of our upcoming weddings. This is Sadie Sears and Drew Buring. Sadie is planning her wedding here at Salishan and she also has worked at our Spa for the past 6 years. Her family is friends with the owners of the Bijou Theater in Lincoln City and they came up with this cute idea for her “Save the Date” cards. It’s such a cute idea, I just had to share!

Each year in December Salishan gives the local community “The Gift of Music”. This past December 16th, 2012 Siletz Bay Music Festival co-sponsored the event with us and what a wonderful event it was.

Rocky Blumhagen, lyric baritone, sang several Christmas songs including “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”, “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”, and other holiday standards. Sarah Barten and Kristina Burbank sang “Winter Wonderland”, “Ave Maria”, and “O Holy Night”. Sue Parks-Hilden performed a reading of “Becky’s Christmas Dream” by Louisa May Alcott that many of the local children really enjoyed. Elizabeth Rankin played “Basque Carol”, “Canzone de Zampoquari/ Carol of the Bagpipes”, and “Star of the East/Hail the Blest Morn” on the harp. The Gift Goes On Choir was made up of local students singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, “Jingle Bells”, and “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” led by Eric Simpson on the piano.

The concert concluded with a sing-a-long and a special group performance by “The Gift Goes On” followed by refreshments provided by Salishan.

A cash donation or non-perishable food was requested for entry to continue the giving. Proceeds were donated to the Lincoln City Food Pantry.
