You’ll write the name of your loved one and tie it to the tree at the front entrance to the medical center. We believe resources shouldn’t stop anyone from getting a regular mammogram, so we’re partnering with the First City Council on Cancer to raise funds to cover mammogram costs for those who can’t afford one. Anything you give will help provide mammograms for women in our community. If you can’t join us for this event, you can still tie your ribbon on throughout the month of October by stopping at the Front Desk, Women’s Health, or our Plaza office.

Tickets available at the door or at: http://ketchikanarts.org/events/category/torch-nights The Black Crabs are a little rockabilly with some rock and roll too… but also swing, jazz, and even a taste of spaghetti western. This mix of genres comes naturally to The Black Crabs. Originally formed in 2004 to back Rockabilly Queen Wanda Jackson, the band was supposed to be only a summer fling. Instead, it transformed into a full-time proposition. The Trio has played various Seattle festivals including; KEXP’s Rockabilly Ball, Bumbershoot, and The Folk Life Festival. The Black Crabs deftly navigate the Les Paul-eqsue instrumental Caravan. There’s even the tune best heard under the Big Top, both because of its country-circus beat and subject matter – plus – quite possibly the first ever song about corndogs! Location |
