Want to go to the theater, but don’t want to drive to Seattle with gas prices above $4 a gallon, plus having to fight traffic and pay for parking?
There are still tickets available for the closing weekend of the Whidbey Playhouse production of “Guys and Dolls.”
Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest permanent craps game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next girl he sees fall in love with him
The musical comedy closes Saturday, June 28, at the Whidbey Playhouse, 730 S.E. Midway Blvd. in Oak Harbor. Tickets are $16 each, but for a group of 10 or more the price is just $15 each. Show times are 7:30 p.m. for these Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances.
Call the box office at 360-679-2237 or visit www.whidbey
playhouse.com. The Whidbey Playhouse is wheelchair and handicapped accessible.

A free way to check your health
“Free” is a word seldom associated with health care in the United States, but for one weekend it is free, thanks to the Oak Harbor Lions Club.
Free health screenings will be available Saturday and Sunday, July 5 and 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ace Hardware, 150 SE Pioneer Way, Oak Harbor in the Lions Health Screening Unit.
Sponsored by the Oak Harbor Lions Club, the screenings for diabetes, blood pressure, vision, glaucoma, and hearing are a program of the non-profit Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing.
Volunteer health professionals and Lions Club members staff the professionally equipped mobile unit. No appointment is necessary.
