Lewis & Clark trail run series continues
FORT CLATSOP — Lewis and
Clark National Historical
Park will hosts its second an-
nual trail run series Saturday,
July 1.
Come for either a roughly
6K walk/run, including the
Kwis Kwis Trail, or run a
half-marathon course on
the Fort to Sea Trail. Both
courses will include long
hilly sections. The routes
are not accessible for most
wheelchairs or strollers. No
pets are permitted.
The run will begin at 9
a.m. at the Fort Clatsop repli-
ca; the fort’s wooden gates
will be the starting line. The
finish line will be in the Fort
Clatsop Picnic Area, where
a prize drawing and refresh-
ments will be held.
Registration runs 8 to 8:30
a.m. at the Fort Clatsop Visi-
tor Center. The cost is the pur-
chase of a $20 Annual Park
Pass that grants entry into all
three Lewis & Clark Trail
Series Events. Registration is
free with any pass that allows
entry into national parks.
Participants younger than 18
need a parent or guardian to
sign the registration form.
This event is sponsored by
the Lewis & Clark National
Park Association, which
supports park education and
interpretative activities. The
third event is scheduled for
Sept. 30.
The series includes “sev-
eral different exhilarating
events along beautiful trails
through forest landscapes,
complete with a welcoming
and friendly race atmo-
sphere,” organizers wrote.
“This series is open to walk-
ers and runners of all ages
and provides the opportunity
to experience the Northwest
coast the way people have
done it for thousands of years
— on footpaths.”

Go ‘Behind the Bar’ with Heritage Museum art collection
ASTORIA — An extraordi-
nary collection of artwork
is the subject of the latest
exhibit at the Heritage
Museum in Astoria.
“Behind the Bar: The
Folk Art of Arvi Ostrom
and the Snug Harbor” fea-
tures a fraction of the more
than 10,000 drawings,
paintings and carvings
created by Astoria’s pro-
lific folk artist and saloon
operator Arvi Ostrom.
Many people may recall
Arvi’s Union Town tavern
the Snug Harbor and his
“drawings,” but few could
imagine the breadth of his
work and talent.
“Upon Arvi’s death in
1994, his grandson Ken
Carlson became the care-
taker of this vast collec-
tion. He has endeavored to

preserve his grandfather’s
legacy and to share it with
the public for the first
time,” the museum said in
a release. “He, with the aid
of his friend and documen-
tarian, Ben Saboonchian,
has produced a great video
about Arvi and his art.”
Clatsop County Histor-
ical Society is a nonprofit
educational organization
