It’s Toastday, see you at the Cannery

The countdown continues on the Cannery’s closing.

Tonight, the Daily Pilot holds its second “Toast to Tuesdays” to

commemorate the Newport institution’s final days. One more of the Pilot’s

Tuesday parties, on Sept. 7, is open to the public. Appetizers are

provided, and there is a no-host bar.

So if you have a Cannery memory, or want to make one before it’s too

late, come on out. If you can’t make it tonight, there are a few other

chances.

Speak Up Newport will hold its next meeting, Sept. 1, at the Cannery.

Historian Art Gronsky will discuss its colorful past at the 5:30 meeting.

And the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce will have a farewell

party of its own Sept. 2 at 5 p.m.

So pick a time to say goodbye to the Cannery and owner Bill Hamilton

before the doors close for good Sept. 12.
