On Wednesday, November 14, you can support the Mendocino Land Trust and have a fabulous meal by attending Dine-Out Night at the MacCallum House Inn and Restaurant in Mendocino.
Dine-outs are an ongoing series of dining fundraisers hosted by MacCallum House Inn & Restaurant to support our community. The concept is very simple; MacCallum House donates all of the proceeds to the non-profit organization it’s honoring for that evening. The dine-out is an amazingly clever way to capture a donation for a well-deserving charity from both tourists and locals.
MacCallum House hosted their first dine-out in 2004; it was a St. Patrick’s Day event for KOZT. Jed explains, “We have tried to make it part of our culture and now do several events every month during the slower season. It is a great way for us to connect with the community. We have done dine-out’s for so many different organizations I have lost track.” But as Jed rattles off the names, I could tell there were not many missing from the list.
There are lots of dine-outs coming up, taking us through the holidays, such as the Mendocino Coast Humane Society, College of the Redwoods Community Choir and Project Sanctuary. With more to come in 2008!
Many thanks to MacCallum House for sponsoring so many community activities. MendocinoFun.com is also doing our part by listing these events on our Calendar of Events. You can do your part. Get together a group of friends to celebrate the holiday season and give to your favorite charity at the same time.
The MacCallum House (45020 Albion Street, Mendocino) will be serving their regular menu on November 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Please make your reservation as soon as possible by calling 937-5763.

Living in a small town in wonderful, but it always hits home for me around holidays - any holiday. Around here, we celebrate them all. Just around the corner is Halloween, and if asked, I say that it’s really a holiday for the kids. But in all honesty, I’ve still have fun with the pumpkin carving, haunted houses, and creepy costumes. There’s nothing like a neighborhood event to bring you back to your youth!
Gallery Bookshop has a jump on the festivities with their book signing on Sunday, October 28, with Alethea Easton, “Hungry.” 3:00 p.m. 707-937-2665.
The Emerald Dolphin Mini Golf is hosting haunted house tours on Friday, October 26 through Sunday, October 28. Cost is $3 or free with golf. Call for times: 707-964-6699
The Westport Volunteer Fire Department is hosting an Oktobeer Fest - starts at noon on Saturday on the Westport Headlands. Food, fun and, of course, beer!
You can finish up the holiday weekend with The Day of the Dead at Little River Inn. Events begin November 1.
We don’t get to relive our childhood often, so don’t miss out on the fun!

Everytime my wife, Gerry, and I read the sign with the words above on Main Street in Fort Bragg we crack up.
Is this a chicken barbecue for a FAMOUS CATHOLIC? Or is a FAMOUS CATHOLIC CHICKEN being honored with a barbecue. Or is the barbecue famous? Is there such a thing as CATHOLIC CHICKEN? Catholics are famous for their guilt, why not chicken?
Ah, the vagaries of punctuation.
The actual flyer tells us that from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, there will be a BBQ — the 53rd Annual — at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, corner of Harold and Maple Streets in Fort Bragg.
You get 1/2 of a BBQ chicken, green salad, Mexican beans, rice, garlic bread and all the dessert you can eat, plus punch or coffee. A full order is $13, a half order, $8. Beer and margaritas will be for sale, as well.
There will be games and activties for kids and adults, including bingo, tractor rides, a water slide, horseshoes, and an hourly raffle.
Sounds like it will be a famously fun event whether you’re Catholic or not.
