On a dark, windy night, Carlsbad Oceanside Art League artists haunted the kitchen at the North Coastal Art Gallery to whip up a most gruesome abode: the spooky COAL mansion. Is up for grabs from October 1 through October 27 at the gallery. One picked up a pencil and said, “This should be drawn and quartered.” Another grabbed a bewitched brush and said, “I’m going to paint this house, red…. or blue. Well, no, we need the whole spectrum for this.“ Another grabbed a slab of gingerbread and said, “I think my knife is sharp enough.” Another gathered ghastly, green fondant and silently fashioned it into phantasms. When it was complete, they screamed with ardent admiration and said, “What a delightfully dilapidated domicile to display!" Stop in, a must see at the Gallery. Tickets are available at the gallery or online at the North Coastal Art Gallery https://northcoastalartgallery.com/silent-art-auction-by-local-artists/ Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (North Coastal Art Gallery) on Facebook / Instagram

Thousands are expected to rally at SDSU Mission Valley’s Snapdragon Stadium and river park on Oct. 27 for one of the region's most inspiring annual events: the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Hosted by the American Cancer Society, the event unites survivors, thrivers, caregivers, families and supporters in a powerful show of solidarity and hope. The goal is to raise funds and awareness to end breast cancer. The event will also celebrate another milestone with the naming of its first-ever honoree: SDSU alumna and 27-year employee Tammy Blackburn. As a metastatic breast cancer thriver, Blackburn is a fierce advocate for cancer patients and established the Wallace Shatsky Blackburn Courage Through Cancer Fund, which supports students impacted by the disease."It's really wonderful that SDSU gets to be a partner," said Blackburn. "There are just so many groundbreaking and innovative things that we are doing at San Diego State. Our partnership with the American Cancer Society and Making Strides feels right and I am confident that we will look back at this years from now and say, ‘yeah, we did that, we saved lives.’” Blackburn will attend the event to cheer on participants and says though she’ll feel a surge of emotion, she’s inspired and eager to be part of this important cause.
