While at the Library we heard that artist Ronnie MacIntosh had been murdered and everyone's help was needed, so we were off to try to identify the culprit.
Our first suspect was Mother Inferior at Art Walk Alley Antiques... hmmmm, we think she is innocent.

Rogues Gallery at Wrights... all the Murder Suspects gathered in one place. Each claimed that they didn't do it, and no one appeared more innocent than Vera Sin in her black evening gown and fur stole - but the Art Walkers weren't all fooled. Many of them identified Miss Sin as the murderer. The names of five of the sleuths who chose Vera Sin were drawn for prizes. Each prize included tickets to performances at The Brookings Harbor Community Theater plus a choice of an art related item donated by local artists.
Toasting a fine Art Walk and two Murder Mystery Prize Winners (Lorelei and Noel Hanna) with Ken Range at Art Alley Grille.
Calling all mystery sleuths... attend the March Art Walk and experience a thrilling evening of clues, crime, and puzzlement.
Begin the evening at the Chetco Community Public Library where you will pick up a game booklet containing a brief description of the suspects and the map detailing their locations. Players will be able to examine evidence and obtain valuable clues from each suspect at each location and enter this information in their clue booklet. The final round will take place at 6:40 at Wright's Custom Frames and Supplies. The Inspector and all the suspects will gather at Wright's and the killer will be revealed as well as the motive. Prizes will be awarded to 5 winners.
Preview of the crime: Ronnie MacIntosh, the famous artist, has arranged for a private art exhibition among friends before the Brian Scott Gallery opens his work to the public. However, when all the guests arrive MacIntosh is nowhere to be found - alive that is. Taking artwork to new heights, Ronnie appears to have died and is found slumped in a chair surrounded by empty bottles of expensive champagne. Beside him is a small plaque which reads: "Pickled Artist". As a career move it certainly increases the value of his sales - but was he in fact murdered by one of the guests?

Brookings Art Walk Murder Mystery Event
Chetco Pelican Players will be presenting a 6 week acting class with instructor Howard Patterson.
All ages are welcome, but recommended ages are 12 and up. For new actors, emphasis will be overcoming the fear of being on stage. For the more experienced actor, emphasis will be on learning to listen on stage and how to react to the moment. Also Patterson will work with actors to help them in understanding one's character, what the character needs to achieve, and what obstacles are in his way. Actors will be teamed up and will work on selected scenes or monologues, and then the in-class performance positively critiqued. There will also be a variety of theater games, acting and improv exercises. A final performance will be done for family and friends at the end of the series.
Howard Patterson is a 2011 Packy award winning actor. His last role at CPP was in The 39 Steps. Look for an upcoming play in October, Wait Until Dark, that he will be directing.
Classes will start Monday, March 12th and run 6 weeks. Time is 4-6PM Mondays. Cost is $20, scholarships available. Ages 12 and up recommended.
