Have you ever wanted to go backstage of the historic Lincoln Theatre? This is your chance to get a full tour of the local theatre from the theatre’s director, Thomas Mayes. We’ll be hanging out in the theatre’s beer and wine bar for appetizers, drinks and conversation. At 7:30 we’ll sit down for the movie of the night, which will be announced 1 week before the event. The Lincoln Theatre is located at 712 S. 1st St. in Mount Vernon.

21st Annual Festival of Trees a Big Success

This year the Chamber Ambassador Committee and Skagit Young Professionals created a “We Wish You a Merry Grinchmas” themed tree for the Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation. The tree raised the highest amount of all trees at $4,000, won Designer’s Choice Award as well as People’s Choice Award. The mini tree, which is a replica of the actual tree, raised $650. The Festival of Trees grossed over $255,000 for the Behavioral Care Center at Skagit Valley Hospital! Thank you to everybody who had a part in making the tree a success. It took many donors, volunteers and a fantastic designer, Janey Dodge of Shellan Jewelers, to put together such a great tree.
