PORT ANGELES

Midsummer dance

PORT ANGELES — The All City Midsummer Dance, aka Carol’s Summer Affair, will fill the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 W. Fourth St., on Saturday night.

Ballroom dance enthusiast and instructor Carol Hathaway is hosting the event — and invites dancers of all ages to join in.

Admission is free.

Saturday’s party will run from 7:30 p.m. until 11 p.m.

The Stardust big band will play, and DJs will spin rock, blues and country CDs during the breaks.

Teenagers are welcome, Hathaway emphasized. Potluck snacks will keep dancers fueled.

While free, there is a “cover charge” — bring a balloon on a ribbon that can be attached to one of the tables, said Hathaway, who will celebrate her 60th birthday this weekend.

“This party is my thank-you to the dance community for sharing with me over a decade of dance,” she said.

“Please just come armed with your balloon and have a fun time,.”

Alaskan novel

PORT ANGELES — Author Tammy Jones will present a slide show of events described in her new book, Alaska Bound: One Man’s Dream . . . One Woman’s Nightmare, at 7 p.m. tonight.

She will tell her story at the Port Angeles Senior Center, 328 E. Seventh St., describing how one man’s dream to experience Alaska lures him and his wife from a sleepy coastal town in Washington to the northern wilderness.

Earlier, Jones will host an informal session on how to write and publish your own book.

This session will be at the senior center at 1 p.m.

Jones has ties to the Port Angeles area.
