Story pole dedication slated for Saturday
The City of Keizer and the Keizer Public
Art Commission will host a dedication of
the story poles carved out of two trees on
Chemawa Road NE that stand in City Hall
Plaza. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m.
on Saturday, Sept. 18.
The story poles will be dedicated after
a years-long eff ort. The original idea came
from Public Works Director Bill Lawyer
when the two fi r trees reached the end of
their life and had to be topped. Lawyer
thought turning the remaining stumps
into works of art would make a unique
addition to the civic center campus.
Kim Steen and Bethy Melendy of the
Keizer Public Art Commission will each
dedicate one pole.
The two poles were carved by Kevin
and Tyler Strauslin of Oregon 3D Art
and Chainsaw Sculptures, working from
designs presented by the arts commission.
