The NCW valley likes to pair their fun with beverages, that’s for sure. Whether it’s cider and line dancing, wine and painting, beers and bikes, we love our home-brews with a side of creativity. A whiskey tasting for the love of whiskey takes a long sip, and the bar at an art center will be busy for their 30th anniversary. A beer garden in the park quenches thirst at Chelan’s car show. 8-10 a.m. at Wenatchee River Institute — 347 Division St., Leavenworth.

A car can be more than a way to get one place to another. The journey might be the point, such as exploring on a road trip. Even more extreme, some must make a home out of an automobile. A life-size, hand-stitched soft sculpture of a vehicle is in the MAC Gallery, created by Nina Vichayapai for the exhibit “Long Way Home” with Ame Morrison. The two met at Portland State University in the art and social practice program as a graduate and an undergraduate student who also travelled to Italy to study.

The museum screens a silent film with pipe organ music and sends a tour to Stehekin by boat. A famous comedian stands up for laughs.
