Lyre’s Club Closing

The Lyre’s Club will be closing this weekend. Owner Stephanie Anthony said tomorrow night could be the club’s last night. If there’s still some liquor left over after tomorrow, she might keep the club open until Saturday; Sunday at the latest.

She said “When the recession word got out there, you could see the sales drop.”

Now I wish I’d gone there more often. I do hope she’s wrong in her prediction that “I don't see Port Angeles turning around for two years.”

Mardi Gras in Port Angeles

Port Angeles will be celebrating Mardi Gras this year. On Saturday there will be a guided tour for children, starting at 11 a.m. at My Favorite Memory. Other local businesses taking part in the tour include: Cottage Queen, Odyssey Books, First Federal Bank, Maurices, Veela Café and Rick’s Place.

There’ll be various Mardi Gras events throughout the day in the parking lot at First and Laurel (next to The Toggery).

On Feb. 24th (Fat Tuesday), Michael’s Seafood & Steakhouse will be featuring a Taste of New Orleans, starting at 4 p.m. Wine on the Waterfront will have open mic from 7 to 10 p.m. And it’s Karaoke Night at the Lyre’s Club.
