Ten years ago University stu
dent Hart Ferguson's father,
Denny Ferguson, and the elder
Ferguson's close friend. Fid
Murphy, decided to jog a dif
ferent route during their regular
run in Portland.
They eventually f o u n d
themselves underneath the
Morrison Bridge at Barbie’s
Cafe and enjoyed beer and
sweet rolls before jogging back
home. The next year friends
joined them on the zany run and
a tradition was born; a tradition
lhat now has a home in both
Portland and Eugene.
This Thursday at 4 pm. the
third annual Eugene Ferguson
Murphy Memorial Beer Run un
folds. And on Dec 23, the
Portland version of the fun run
takes place for the 10th straight
year.
The Eugene run vs ill be
dedicated in memory of Ed
Murphy's son. Pat, a University
senior until his death from an
accidental gunshot wound on
Oc:t. 3.
"1 want people to remember
Pat,” and at the same time con
tribute to charity and enjoy
themselves. Hart Ferguson said,
adding a large contingent of Pat
Murphy’s friends are coining
from Portland for the event
The younger Murphy and
Ferguson had organized the
race in Eugene the past two
years. Hart Ferguson said, and

EMU craft fair offers
local Christmas gifts
By Kelvin Wee
Emerald Reporter
Christmas is a time for giving,
receiving and traditions One
traditional event at the Univer
sity that has not changed in the
last fourteen years is the Annual
Christinas Cruft Fair.
Sponsored by the EMU Craft
Center and the Cultural Forum,
the fair will lie in the EMU Fir
Room today and Thursday from
10 a m. to 5:30 p.m.
The fair is designed to expose
the University community to
local and regional works of
crafts-people and artists, said
Carol Westlake, assistant direc
tor of the EMU Craft Center.
Everything at the fair is made
in the Northwest and sold by
the people who made it.
Westlake said
Included in the fair will he
Christmas tree ornaments,
wooden toys, ceramics, hand
made jewelry, pottery, leather
goods, baskets, rubber stamps,
neon lamps, stuffed animals
and handmade c I o t h e s ,
Westlake added.
The Cultural Forum and the
Craft Center don't profit from
the fair All money exchanged
at the fair is between buyers and
merchants, with the Craft
Center acting more as an
organizer than as a landlord, ac
cording to Westlake
The fair also doubles as a con
test for artisans from the region,
she said. Staff members of the
Craft Canter will be judges of
the contest

fun to have our own beer run,"
said Ferguson, a Universits

only Conner tion beer has with
the Fugene run is in the name

because there's really no place
to do it." Ferguson said of the
