27th annual Big Horn Brass holiday concert
Sunday, December 9, 6:30, St Matthew Lutheran Church, 10390 SW Canyon, free A favorite holiday event for many Beaverton area family calendars will return this year! The Big Horn Brass performs their annual Holiday Concert at St Matthew. The renowned brass ensemble creates the perfect opportunity to hear some of the world’s greatest holiday and festive music. A preconcert by the St Matthew Exaltation Handbells starts at 6:10 pm. This is the 27th consecutive season the Big Horn Brass has performed a free community concert at St Matthew. This 16-member ensemble spreads its sparkling brass tones through an endearing mix of holiday favorites. From traditional carols to festive arrangements for brass, this concert will warm the hearts of young and old, featuring selections from Peter Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. Other selections include music from the Polar Express, Christmas classics such as White Christmas, and family favorites including Muppet’s Christmas Carol Overture and Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer. This year’s concert is a gift to the community from the Erik Weswig Memorial Fund, Beaverton Arts Commission, the St. Matthew Lutheran Church Foundation, and other supporters of holiday music. Erik was a member of St Matthew and enjoyed this concert as part of their family tradition. In his memory, a Memorial Fund was established to support local events that he enjoyed. Donations for future concerts will be gratefully accepted. The concert will begin with a candle lighting as part of the Compassionate Friends worldwide candle lighting.

Spread Holiday Cheer for Children in NeedTualatin Valley Fire & Rescue has been a longtime partner in supporting KGW’s Great Toy Drive. TVF&R fire stations are once again accepting new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages now through Monday, Dec. 24. For more than three decades, the KGW Great Toy Drive has provided hundreds of thousands of toys to our community’s less-fortunate families in Oregon and Southwest Washington. The toys collected during the toy drive are distributed to needy kids in our area with the help of more than 120 local organizations and hundreds of dedicated volunteers. Last December, TVF&R firefighters were able to fill a fire engine and box truck full of toys to deliver to the KGW studios because of our generous community members. This year, the need continues to be great, and firefighters hope to exceed last year’s collection effort. Cedar Mill residents can drop off any new, unwrapped toys at any of the nearby fire stations:
Families in need of holiday assistance this year can call 211 or visit www.211info.org. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue knows that we serve a generous, compassionate community.
