Reminder: WED., DEC. 1 and WED., DEC. 15: Two great travel adventures at Fishtrap

Dear Local Fishtrap Friends,

Just a quick newsletter reminder about several upcoming local events at Fishtrap.

JEAN FALBO PRESENTS A GRAND OPERA TOUR... AND MORE
Wednesday, December 1 at 7 pm
Fishtrap Coffin House, 400 E. Grant Street, Enterprise

This Wednesday, Joseph residents Clem and Jean Falbo will share their two-month journey to visit the great opera houses of Europe with an evening of highlights, history and photos.Travel along to Milan, Venice, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna and Paris as Jean reveals details they learned beyond the impressive architecture they enjoyed… such as the accidental death in Box 13 at the Paris Opera House which inspired “The Phantom of the Opera.” As Jean says, "Opera houses have stories to tell and history to reveal."

This photo-illustrated lecture is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and donations are appreciated. Proceeds benefit Fishtrap and the Wallowa Valley Music Alliance.

A VISIT TO TERRA MADRE WITH LIZA JANE NICHOLS and ADELE NASH
Wednesday, December 15, 5:30 pm (note the earlier than usual start time)
Fishtrap Coffin House, 400 E. Grant Street, Enterprise

And while we're traveling... how about Italy?

Mark your calendars! Adele and Liza will be presenting a slide show and tell the stories of Terra Madre in Torino, Italy, where they were hosted recently as delegates from the U.S at an international gathering of "slow food" enthusiasts.

Terra Madre is a network of food producers, cooks, educators and students from 150 countries who are united by a common goal of global sustainability in food. The "food communities" of Terra Madre come together biennially to share innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for keeping small-scale agriculture and sustainable food production alive and well. This is a rare opportunity to learn about this wonderful event from the inside. Liza Jane and Adele were chosen based upon the traditions they uphold in ranching and the values they maintain in raising food. Adele also mentioned her aspirations to become a restaurant owner and chef.

There will be snacks and, of course, wine -- come early to have time to sample. Donations will be gratefully accepted to cover food and beverage costs, with any additional proceeds going to Fishtrap.

Please note that the presentation will start promptly at 5:30 and will end in time so that folks can make it to the Wallowa Resources sponsored event on hydropower opportunities at 7 pm down the street at Tomas Conference Room.

All the best from Fishtrap,

Barbara, Jon, Janis, Kathy, Heather and Rich!
