Sip + Shop (along with the Art Walk) is hosted every month in downtown Tillamook. Both of these events encourage folks to do some shopping and take a walk around downtown visiting different merchants.
The next Sip + Shop will be held February 14. Writers from our "Telling Stories" workshop group will be reading from their personal works.
Upcoming Sip + Shop:
Katie Nolan, author of the recently released memoir, Confessions of a Hobo’s Daughter, was raised poor in the Cascade mountains by a former hobo and a maid in a remote house converted from a shed that did not include indoor plumbing. She received her PhD in philosophy from SUNY Binghamton when she was fifty years old, and taught philosophy at Shoreline Community College in Seattle. After retirement, she attended boat building school, learned how to use power tools, and built a Baidarka kayak.
Recently, she experimented with off-the-grid living on the Olympic Peninsula, attempting to put into action environmental ethics she'd advocated to her students. She taught herself how to build from salvage lumber and pallets, and established the beginning of a self-reliant homestead, learning to use a bow saw and wind fall for part of her energy needs.
Much of this book was written on numerous writing retreats in Cape Meares, Oregon, between energetic bouts of chopping wood, carrying water, and building, back on the homestead.
Presently, she lives in a tiny house in Lewis County, Washington, gazes in wonder at the majestic firs and trees next to her yard, and never meets a piece of plywood or 2x4 she doesn't want to salvage.
