Would you like to sell your art at Student Activities’ “Holiday Hangout” on Thursday, Nov. 30? All you need is $10 to rent a table and as much art as you would like to sell to fellow students, staff and the local community.

This year, Holiday Hangout is combining with the Christmas Extravaganza, which will feature a tree-lighting ceremony, carriage rides and lots of other fun activities. Our market will take place in Klages with tables for students and staff to sell their work. This event is attended by students, staff and Newberg locals, so all tables will receive lots of traffic.

Fill out this form to rent a table.

Reach out to Kara Holcombe at kholcombe@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Ben Bowman is a Democrat in the Oregon State Legislature. Reagan Knopp is a Republican political activist. They disagree… a lot! But they also work together to produce The Oregon Bridge, the best political podcast in the state.

How do they do it? How do they relate to their guests from across the political spectrum? How do they keep the podcast so upbeat and civil? What effect are they trying to have on Oregon politics? How much pushback do they get from people in the two major parties? What can we learn from their experience?

Come find out this Monday evening, Nov. 13, at 7:15 p.m. in Hoover 105. This event is sponsored by the George Fox University Civility Project. For further information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.
