OREGON — The First Fridays Open Mic will present its monthly show at the Oregon VFW at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 1.

Admission is free, although a jar is available for donations. Performers can sign up for time slots on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s best to arrive by 6 p.m. or earlier.

“This indoor event attracts many talented performers, but musicians and singers of all skill levels find acceptance from its supportive audience,” said Lowell Harp, one of the event organizers.
