OREGON – The First Fridays Open Mic monthly event will be at 6:30 p.m. March 1 at the Oregon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8739.

“The event attracts many talented performers, but musicians and singers of all skill levels find acceptance from its supportive audience,” event organizer Lowell Harp said.

The show starts at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, although a jar is available for donations.

“Performers can sign up for time slots on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s best to arrive by 6 p.m. or earlier,” Harp said.
