Customer service is not what it use to be! Super sad because we enjoyed this place…read more Employee did not wash hands or use gloves when making beverages!! The sign was open and no where near closing but we're kicked out because they had a concert they were putting on. No one told us, they let us order and said just so you know we're closed. They were not polite or kind about this at all, acted as though we walked in knowing they were closed and how dare we. Mind you the sign said open and others were in their enjoying beverage and company. It was snarky and not acceptable customer service at all when running a business! Like we will take your money now get out!!!! We won't be back! Don't be fooled by croissants, the almond one was from Costco and marked up for profit and stale. Do better!

We've been involved with Shoestring for 2 years now and are very thankful to have a local community…read moretheater group. My oldest daughter was in The Sound of Music the summer before last and both my daughters were in Willy Wonka this past summer. What a great local resource that, for some unknown reason took me too long to discover after moving here 6 years ago! I've met some really nice and talented people from the local community and beyond. Shoestring doesn't have it's own facility so it can be a bit costly to put on performances, but they do a nice job at the St. Helens HS and, more recently, at the new Scappoose HS auditorium. I recently volunteered and was elected to serve as the Secretary on the Board and am hoping to see some more community support for this group and the arts in this community in general so I don't have to always go to Portland to scratch that itch. While my talents don't lie in acting, dancing, doing anything backstage, etc, I love watching! Through my kids' involvement with Shoestring, I also found that I enjoy taking tickets and manning concessions, probably because I enjoy meeting and talking to people. We are lucky to have this in our area!

Formed from a dedicated group of "Reader's Theater" performers, SSCP was officially founded in 1982. The first production was Brigadoon, performed at the St. Helens High School Olmscheid Auditorium. SSCP has consistently produced productions and performances since that time, tapping into the rich and "undiscovered" talent Columbia County and its surrounding areas have to offer. We perform Revues, Musicals, Dramas, Comedies, Children's Theater, and any other type of production that captures the attention of the community.

My experience was from a Saturday evening. My friend and I were in the area and decided to stop by…read moreand enjoy Halloweentown. It's quite confusing as their site says to pay for tickets. Admission $18. Once you arrive to the event, no one, I said NO ONE, checked or asked for tickets. Possibly they check for other attractions that are offered or for the photo taking with the large pumpkin, but that was very misleading. So, some people pay and some don't? Parking was complicated on this day. I suppose it was such a nice afternoon/evening, and everyone decided to make it out. We didn't plan to pay for parking, but eventually caved in. There's no one on the main roads by the event area to control pedestrians walking or for vehicles. I really did appreciate the parking lot attendants. They were consistently friendly and expressed to everyone to have a great time while working endlessly outside. There were performances and entertainment by city hall. Food and drink vendors are scattered along the main walkway. Vendors with custom designed clothing and merch were plentiful. So nice to look at and purchase if you're able. The haunted house is kid friendly, so nothing too outrageous! The attractions were wonderful and makes you feel like a kid or an extra in the movies. For a small town, they do try to go all out for the season. Overall, it wasn't a disappointing trip. Just still confused on the ticket purchases.

After reading some of the reviews, I'm glad we didn't have to pay to see this attraction.
