Cascadia Daily News’ October Election Town Hall with noted travel guru and outspoken world citizen Rick Steves has sold out.
More than 300 tickets were sold in three days. As of now, there is no waitlist.
The town hall’s subject matter won’t be Steves’ usual Euro travel, but Euro history: specifically, fascism.
The evening program, Oct. 17 at the Sehome High School Theater, will center on Steves’ TV special, “Fascism in Europe.” Powered by his own deep immersion into Europe’s many standing reminders of the era, the documentary-style production is an hourlong overview of fascism, from roots to resistance, that launched World War II, spawning the Holocaust and carving an indelible scar on human civilization.
He’ll explore all those topics in the two-hour program, which will include a showing of the film, a roundtable discussion about lessons of history in context with current national and local politics, and questions from audience members.
The event is the first of a series of CDN Town Halls as the media organization expands a community role to become a facilitator, not just informer. Questions about the event may be addressed to support@cascadiadaily.com, or 360-922-3090, option 1.
