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!

From the owner: The ShoeString Community Players has been producing plays and other performances in Columbia County…read morefor over 30 years. 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.

This was honestly really upsetting. We went on Halloween night, and there was zero organization. I…read moremade a special trip down from Washington with my daughter and stepmom, stayed at a hotel and did the whole thing because I grew up on Halloweentown and have always wanted to experience this in person. I paid online ahead of time, fully expecting some kind of structured, ticketed event. Instead, it felt like everyone in town was just allowed to walk right in. There was no clear separation for people who paid versus people who didn't. People were everywhere taking pictures, and no one was stopping them or checking anything. It was frustrating to realize we paid for something that others were doing for free. I honestly feel like I wasted my money. I'd like a refund, but I already know that would probably turn into a runaround. If you're coming from out of town, especially on Halloween, this is absolutely not worth the drive. Do not pay online, there is literally nothing stopping anyone from just walking around and taking pictures anyway. It's a joke. A literal joke. We ended up salvaging the night by driving about 10 minutes away to a neighborhood actually celebrating Halloween and handing out candy, which ended up being the highlight for my daughter. Unfortunately, this experience was a huge letdown. I will not be attending again or recommending to anyone if they ask.

Literally came into town for this and so glad that we did. We're used to large festivals in Vegas…read morethat are overcrowded. The town kept telling us that it does get pretty busy but honestly it was nothing compared to an event like this here in Vegas. We absolutely loved going! The event itself is free, but if you pay for tickets you get so many other things. We also took the shuttle in, which they take you by school bus (so fun and totally make sense for the movie). With the ticket you get access to special bathrooms and things like that, as well as the pavillion, though it felt like no one was really hanging out in there. They even had a live band that was kind of playing for no one which was kinda sad haha. However, still really cool! You also got to go on a tour which took you to the spots where Halloweentown and Twilight were filmed, which I honestly really loved. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and gave some fun facts about both movies I didn't know! We came a few days early and got to explore before it got crazy with all the vendors, but honestly, still SO much fun to come to this! They event do a pumpkin lighting at night and a few of the cast members were also there. Definitely recommend checking this out if you love the movie! It's so much fun and literally feels like a fake little movie set, even though it's the actual town! SO FUN! We had the best time!!!
