Content

Join us for a history of Portland’s brothels of the past, presented by Doug Kenck-Crispin. There will also be a costume contest – dress as a “lady o’ the evening” or a pimp (from any era in history) and maybe you’ll win a prize.

Following his presentation, stay to watch a rare 35mm screening of Midnight Cowboy, starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman.

As always, food and drinks will be available for purchase.
