Pets of the Week: Quico and Chavo
EUGENE, Ore. – Bonded guinea pig brothers Quico and Chavo have contrasting personalities, but both share a desire to find their loving forever home together!. Greenhill Humane Society staffers said that Quico, who is white and orange, is quite the little socially outgoing fellow and loves to play while Chavo, who is black with a white stripe down his face, is a bit shy but still loves being held and getting pets. They both enjoy chowing down on yummy snacks and love climbing on their toys, and Quico, when he’s happy, gets what’s known as ‘popcorns,’ a description of Quico’s happy dance, Greenhill staff said. Greenhill officials also said that Quico loves to tell his humans all about his day. These piggies are seeking an indoor-only home and would be wonderful pets for a family with children as well as newcomers to guinea pigs, Greenhill staff said.

Return To Broadway And Have Fun
It should be a toe-tapping time May 18 when Soromundi — Lesbian Chorus of Eugene: Return to Broadway takes the stage at the Hult Center. Return to Broadway is the chosen theme for this year’s spring concert, a theme Soromundi last visited in 2017. The 80-member non-audition chorus is open to anyone over the age of 18, who identifies as a woman, and members get a major say in the concert’s theme and song selection, says Lisa Hellemn, Soromundi’s director. “I’m pretty excited for this concert,” Hellemn notes. “It’s always a feat to get this done. The biggest draw for me is the variety of what we do. It is unique.” Expect to hear classic songs from the musicals South Pacific, Fame and Chicago as well as works from newer musicals like Mamma Mia, Jagged Little Pill, Fun Home, Hamilton and Encanto, the latter two musicals the creations of the great Lin-Manuel Miranda. Darlene Mueller on clarinet and Claudia Paige on drums and percussion accompany the chorus.
