“When I was a kid,
there was a farm
at the end of the
street until I was
9,” says Jane
Happy, who grew
up in Salem. “We
could go play in the field all day long. I was heartbroken when it was developed.”
Now a social worker at Sacred Heart, a resident of Eugene’s Friendly
Neighborhood and the mother of 10-year-old Eva, Happy has taken an active role
this year in the effort to save Madison Meadow, two acres of remnant meadow and
orchard. “I was making fairies for Eva’s birthday party fairy hunt,” she says. “I had
an inspiration to make them to benefit the park.” Constructed from artificial flow-
ers, costume jewelry, and other thrift-store materials, the Happy fairies were a hit
for $10 each at the Mount Pisgah Wildflower Show. “I’ve been making two every
night ever since,” she reports. “Eva makes one or two. We’ve sold a thousand dol-
lars worth at garden tours.” Though the Madison Meadow nonprofit has raised
$379,000 since incorporating in 2003, they need another $143,000 by December
to save the land from development. Learn more at madisonmeadow.org
“The internet says I can get
the car I want at a price I like,
but the 3 dealers I called
said it’s impossible.” That’s
why I called Oregon Roads.
