75 & feelin’ fine
The storm clouds parted and the sun was shining Sunday as Willamalane Park & Recreation
District celebrated its 75th anniversary with a sprawling community hoopla at Willamalane
Park in Springfi eld.
The free event drew a large crowd throughout the day, enjoying live music, carnival rides,
face painting, axe-throwing and more. Foodtrucks, a beer garden, and VFW Broiler Fest-
style chicken were available for attendees to enjoy as well as a mobile video game experience.
At right, after patiently awaiting his turn, WIllamalane’s own mascot squirrel slips
down the Super Slide. Below, teenagers scream with glee as they race up and
down the course in infl atable spheres, and roaming magician Jeff Evans, from
Washington, wows a small crowd of boys with card tricks and sleight-of-hand
shenanigans. JEN BLUE/THE CHRONICLE
