December 5-6: Rollercoaster Weekend The king of all amusement park rides is the Rollercoaster, and this weekend we will be showing movies of all the greatest scream machines in the world. You will feel as if you are in the front seat of the tallest, fastest, steepest, scariest rollercoasters ever built. The best part is you are safe in your chair the whole time and don't even need a seat belt or lap bar! In addition we are going to unveil a slideshow on "The Rollercoasters of San Francisco" -- pictures and stories behind long-forgotten but very memorable amusement devices. The special events of Rollercoaster Weekend are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach is a nonprofit Museum of Fun. Designed and built entirely by volunteers, the 20+ interactive exhibits celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements -- circuses, carnivals, magic, side shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art everywhere. Our goal is to educate newer generations about the bygone days and allow those who remember Whitney's Playland and the Sutro Baths the opportunity to recapture the glorious sights and sounds of that marvelous era. Hours of Operation: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach 10979 San Pablo Avenue El Cerrito, CA 94530 Website is www.playland-not-at-the-beach.org (510) 932-8966 Cell Phone (510) 592-3002 24-Hour Information Line

Outdoor screening of the 1933 classic film on a giant cinema screen with live performances by actors and musicians. Bring a cushion and settle in! (If weather is bad it will be moved to Sunday) The Museum of Wellington is an eccentric little gem crammed with curios, stories and artefacts from Wellington's rich history. It turns ten years old this month, so what better way to celebrate than with a most curiouser and curiouser party! This museum tells the intriguing stories of Wellington’s social, cultural and maritime history. Housed in the historic Bond Store on Queens Wharf, the original architecture is the perfect home for the remarkable exhibitions of precious objects and memories of Wellington's wonderful past. It is a museum for Wellington – the city, the sea and its people. And we are all invited to the party.

To the Chinese community, tThese are frequent visual markers that conjure up the an indelible imagined construct that , to the Chinese community, is the “Nanyang”, which taken literally, means ‘“southern ocean’”. On the other hand, tThe Western perspective encompasses a wider survey of arbitrary geographical distinctions associations that perpetuates their notion of the Orient.

Revisit our collective screen memories with a showcase of films that aims to function as a travelogue through the mythical Nanyang and the Orient as viewed by non-indigenous wayfarers.
