HOOD RIVER — The History Museum of Hood River County will present Timewinder Tales (formerly Cemetery Tales) Sept. 19-21 at the museum, 300 E Port Marina Drive.
This year’s performances will be a little different than those in the past. “You will hear from four powerful and influential Latina members of our community who will share their stories and inspirations,” said a press release. “Paty Verduzco, Martha Verduzco-Ortega and Monica Romero, along with Tina Castañares, will share their histories, inform and entertain. The performances will be in Spanish, with English interpretation.
Shows will be held Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 20 at noon, and Sunday, Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes before each show. Refreshments will be available for purchase or by donation.
Tickets are $25 for adults (or $20 for museum members), and $10 for ages 17 and under. Limited free tickets are available for those with financial need. Email or call the museum (see below) to request free tickets. Purchase tickets online at www.hoodriverhistorymuseum.org or at the museum. Advanced purchase is recommended as seating is limited.
“When you come to enjoy the Timewinder Tales production, you can also check out the newest addition to the museum’s permanent collection, Nuestras Raíces (Our Roots) Latino history exhibit,” said the press release. “This new exhibit has been developed in collaboration with consultant Juan Reyes and artist Michelle Yamamoto. The Nuestras Raíces exhibit shares the history and culture of Mexican immigrants who settled in the Hood River Valley. Learn about the many positive impacts their children and grandchildren are making in our community and how they were inspired by their roots.”
The exhibit is presented in Spanish, with English translation available. For more information, call 541-386-6772 or email info@hoodriverhistorymuseum.org.
