If you’re out and about in Portland this weekend and you’re in the mood for some holiday cheer, come support local authors like Viva Las Vegas (Magic Gardens) and Jen Weaver-Neist (Give My Love to Everybody) at Oregon Historical Society’s 42nd Annual Holiday Cheer celebration. Entry is a mere $5, doors open at noon, and a portion of the sales benefit OHS and its ongoing mission to Oregon’s fascinating, “Dame Rocket-esque” (pioneering spirit) history. Authors sign until 4:00 p.m. and the event concludes at 5:00. Click here for more information, including a list of featured authors (past line-ups have included the likes of Ursala K. Le Guin, Ma Gert of Columbia Sportswear, and food guru Sara Perry from The Oregonian).
