A three-day traveling event, intended to honor and respect our region as well as its dwellers, is being sponsored by Clatsop Community College Arts and Ideas Monday through Wednesday.

“Having Everything Right: A Project in Eloquent Listening” is inspired by the writings of Kim Stafford. Participants in this series of meetings will include Stafford as the “Eloquent Listener” and “Dwellers,” invited community members who have established themselves and their spirit of dedication to our region.
