WINTER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION


The Winter Solstice Celebration provides a reflective, peaceful, non-religious alternative to the holiday bustle.

It is easy to become lost during this time of the year, and to suffer a slight sense of hopelessness as the light seems to diminish. With the rush of the Holiday season, the increasing darkness of the days and the general stress of trying to meet the needs of family and friends, it becomes necessary to step back and take a moment to regroup. It is with this need in mind that Driftwood Public Library offers its Winter Solstice celebration each year.

On that darkest of nights when the celestial tide turns and the nights finally start becoming progressively shorter, and the days longer, the library offers a program of music and readings to help mark the return of the light.

This to provide a spot of brightness and relaxation during the otherwise busy season, and to offer an inclusive alternative, free of religious references, for those who desire an uplifting, but secular, celebration.

December 21st, 2007 Winter Solstice Celebration
This year marks the fifth that Driftwood will be presenting the celebration, and to mark that special anniversary we have asked Zach Konowalchuk and his band Coin of the Realm (formerly Pieces of 8) to provide the evening’s sole musical entertainment. Zach’s music will be interspersed with readings and poetry relevant to the Winter season and to the idea of Solstice.

The Winter Solstice celebration will take place this year on Friday, December 21st, starting at approximately 7:00 p.m. and lasting for about 2 hours. Light refreshments will be provided at intermission.

The program is sponsored by The Friends of Driftwood Public Library and by Starbucks of Lincoln City. It is free and open to anyone who wishes to join in. Please contact Ken Hobson at 541 996-1242 if you have any questions.
