Hult Center and Companies Collaborate on Special Holiday Gift <br />The Hult Center is excited to work in a unique partnership with Resident Companies in offering the 3- <br />Show Sampler for the third year in a row. The companies working together are the Eugene Concert <br />Choir, Eugene Ballet Company, the Eugene Opera, Eugene Symphony, Hult Presents, Oregon Bach <br />Festival, Oregon Mozart Players, and the Willamette Repertory Theatre. <br /> The 3-Show Sampler is designed to: <br /> Sell future show tickets; <br /> Provide consumers with a sampling of Resident Companies and <br />Hult Presents shows; <br /> Offer a “package” of tickets; and <br /> Work, promote and succeed cooperatively. <br />This perfect holiday gift (gift-giving is an ART!) allows the lucky recipient <br />to choose three of eight offered shows. This package is once again <br />priced at only $60 and has been well received. In the last two holiday <br />seasons, over 150 3-Show Samplers have been sold, which represents <br />more than 450 tickets. <br />The organizations involved each contribute $200 for the production of a color brochure, certificate, and <br />some simple marketing. Three marketing managers make up the production team and each one <br />promotes the Sampler throughout the holiday season on all websites, electronic newsletters, and lobby <br />tables during performances. For all the details on the eight fabulous shows, visit HultCenter.org and click <br />on the 3-Show Sampler holiday elf on the left banner.For further information, contact Billie Moser at <br />682-8380. <br />Students Sell Creations at Art Show and Sale <br />Adaptive Recreation invites you to the Arts Careers Art Show and Sale from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, <br />December 7, at the Hilyard Community Center.

Forty people participated, <br />‘burning’ off their holiday feasts with shallow and deep water aerobics, and touring the fitness centers. A <br />drawing for participants was held, with prizes ranging from a lotion sampler pack up to the grand prize of <br />a free month pass to the pool.
