‘‘Come help us clean out the historic Mill Building in preparation for our rehabilitation,’’ a press release from the science center said.
All sales will be donated to the rehabilitation effort. There are too many items to list and everything must go.
Halloween Items
At White E Shop

Hours Saturday are noon-3 p.m., Monday 6-8 p.m.; and Thursday, noon-3 p.m.
Sitka Film Society
Movies to Show
The Sitka Film Society and Coliseum Theater will show “Eighth Grade” 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, and “Three Identical Strangers” 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Coliseum Theater.
‘‘Eighth Grade” is a simple story of an unremarkable girl, tenderly and movingly told. It was written and directed by Bo Burnham, a stand-up comic who started out by posting videos of himself on YouTube. The film is rated R.
The knockout documentary ‘‘Three Identical Strangers’’ begins as a goofy, believe-it-or-not tabloid story and slowly drifts into darker waters — the realm of horror, then of tragedy.
Tickets are $8 per film, available at Old Harbor Books. Those with questions may call 738-0602
