E-mail this articleThe public can feast on salmon and nibble on academic offerings at Lower Columbia College Tuesday.
The college is cooking up a Salmon Bake, an event last held in 1996.
Faculty members will prepare 800 pounds of fresh salmon and serve it with cole slaw, potato salad and ice cream. Though donations will be taken, there's no fixed charge.
Also on the menu is a "Taste of LCC," made up of 23 half-hour talks by LCC faculty on subjects ranging from pottery to parenting. Blues and jazz bands, including LCC faculty members, will provide live entertainment.
The feast and performances will take place in and around the LCC Student Center, located on 15th Avenue near McDonald's, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday; talks will be held throughout the campus.
Fran Zarubick, an LCC dean, said she expects as many as 2,500 people to come to the party if the weather is good (though most of the activities are inside in any case.)
The event is designed to entice people to LCC who might not otherwise come. "Some people may have trepidation about coming onto a college campus," she said.
