These will moo-ve fast
Restrictions on large gatherings will
not stop Lincoln County 4-H kids from
auctioning off the animals they have
painstakingly raised, thanks to a partnership
with Eugene Livestock Auction that will
allow the sale to take place virtually.
Animals that are sold at 4-H auctions
are hands-on projects used to teach kids
not only the industry associated with their
Something’s
brewing in
Tillamook
projects but valuable positive life skills
as well. Youth are taught ethical animal
husbandry and business management skills
such as product quality and assurance,
marketing, record keeping and outreach
throughout the course of their projects.
Purchasers will receive a buyer certificate,
which includes a photo of the purchased
animal, the name of the youth member and
the buyer’s name.
Besides purchasing an animal, businesses
and individuals can also donate to an
individual youth, species, or the program as
a whole. For more information regarding
individual donations, call the Lincoln
County 4-H office at 541-648-6815.
Eugene Livestock Auction will post
each animal for sale on its website, www.
eugenelivestockauction.com, beginning at
6 pm on Friday, July 3. The auction will run
for five days, allowing bidders to place bids
through Tuesday, July 7.
A link to the Lincoln County 4-H
Youth Auction will be available when the
auction goes live and will be posted on
the Lincoln County 4-H website, www.
lincolncounty4-h.com as well as the Lincoln
County 4-H Oregon Facebook page.

County 4-H, contact Heather Tower,
4-H program assistant, at heather.tower@

Registration is now open for
a “Discovery in Stone” workshop
to be held this weekend at the
Bay City Arts Center.
Stone carving is an activity
that lends itself well to social
distancing, and participants are
always encouraged to wear face
masks and eye protection, even
without the risk of viruses.
“Because this is a fairly
safe type of event, we may
do stone carving more often
this summer,” said Charlie
Wooldridge of the BCAC.
“We’re thinking of holding
workshops once a month
through the early fall if we
see enough interest from the
community.”
Most aspects of “Discovery
in Stone” will stay the same:
the art studio and grounds will
be open from 9 am to 4 pm each day for
carving; tuition will be by donation; stone
and tools will be supplied; and instruction
will be available. The main differences this
summer are that students must pre-register
and wear face masks
To register, call Wooldridge at 503-842-
7013 or email baycityartscenter@gmail.

The Bay City Arts Center is a
community workshop, gallery, art school,
auditorium, dining hall and radio station
wrapped up in one historic building in
downtown Bay City. It’s also a collection
of volunteers and friends who come
together in the name of art, expression
and reverence for the beauty of the North
Coast. The BCAC board of directors is
looking forward to getting the center
back to a regular schedule of monthly
art shows, First Friday receptions and, of
course, its legendary pancake breakfasts, as
circumstances allow.
