The event will also host a costume contest for those age 12 or under, and a Talk Like a Pirate contest for all ages. Pre-written sayings will be provided, and prizes will be awarded to the winners. “I hope to see a lot of young people there,” said Yvonne McMillan, who is hosting the event for the first time this year. “After COVID, I wanted to find a way to bring people together and get them off the couch.” Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for youth ages 18 and under. Tickets are available only at the door. Sponsors include Beggs Tire & Wheel, McGee Engineering, Independent Motorcycle Repair, Miller Timber and The Corvallis Clinic.

Sounds like a total hoot. Sadly I don't think that I am close enough to attend on a week night. I am starting a writing class that day, so those things could converge humorously, or not..
