COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL August 24, 2016 Cottage Grove Retrospective CLIP N' CARRY GARAGE SALES A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago Aug. 23, 1956 Permanent fair buildings completed It was a tough pull, but they made it. The fair building is ready for use. Volunteer workers put in long hours during the last week in order that the building would be ready for the Western Oregon Exposition, Aug. 23, 24, 25. During the past six days, the black-top fl oor was laid, the siding put on, and the roof put on. The building, although use- able at this time, is not fi nished in its entirety. The ends will not be closed in until after the fair. However, the building is mostly completed and will be a perma- nent fi xture. It is furnished with water, electricity and a tele- phone. In the past years, any tempo- rary building put up for the fair had to be town down following the event. This building is per- manent and can be used for civic activities throughout the year. The fair building is 60 by 160 feet. It has been appraised by fair chairman Forrest Woods at 6 $25,000. All material and labor for building the structure was donated by local fi rms and indi- viduals. Those not yet recognized for their donations of personal labor include Russell and John Wool- cott, Todd Tryck, C.J. Robinson and Raymond Wicks. Two other buildings complet- ed weeks ago on the fair grounds include two animal sheds. One shed is 12 by 50 and the other 14 by 80. A building housing restrooms has also been constructed. Charmin of the building com- mittee and a volunteer of many hours of labor at the grounds is Byron Houck . He has directed the building of the fair buildings since early this summer. Able assistance to Houck were Forrest Woods and Russell Smith, both of whom left busi- ness establishments during the last week and donned carpenter aprons to work on the building. -day weather forecast THURSDAY Aug. 25 FRIDAY Aug. 26 58° | 97° 56° | 95° Sunny Sunny SATURDAY Aug. 27 SUNDAY Aug. 28 53° | 82° 51° | 79° Sunny Sunny MONDAY Aug. 29 TUESDAY Aug. 30 51° | 80° 53° | 82° Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy Featuring local fruit & vegetables THIS WEEK’S SPECIAL: LOCAL TOMATOES $1.50 LB Monday - Saturday 10am-6pm 10th & Washington CG • 541-649-1365 MOVING ESTATE SALE Everything must go!

This year’s theme, “Don’t Wait, Com- municate” focuses on fam- ily, community and individual preparedness. This is an ongo- ing opportunity to learn more about emergencies and how to be prepared whenever or wherever they strike. It serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect us where we live, work, and where we visit. There will be a continuing emphasis on preparedness for youth, older adults and people with disabili- ties and others with access and functional needs. Each week of National Preparedness Month will have a designated theme, which will start Sept. 2.

Most of these signs seem to end-up on telephone poles, street light poles, junc- tion boxes, traffi c regulatory signs, other public and private buildings and structures, and in the public right-of-way. City Staff constantly remove real es- tate signs and garage/yard sale signs that are in the public right- of-way. Many of the signs are left over from events that have long passed. Removing these signs is a time consuming job YARD SALE 185 Tyler Ave. Sat. only 10am- 4pm Housewares, craft- ing, furniture, misc.

Those who placed signs are asked to remove them once their adver- tised event is over. Library Family Fun Picnic The Cottage Grove Public Library held its fi rst ever “Fam- ily Fun Picnic” last Friday for children ages 3-6 years and their parents. The group rode a school bus to Dorena Lake and enjoyed a fun-fi lled picnic under the shade of the trees at Baker Bay Park. They began the day with morning circle and yoga led by Gloria Campuzano, followed by a morning workout with Erin Lauraine from ATA Martial Arts. The group was joined by special guests from the U.S. Forest Service, Krista Farris, Cottage Grove Ranger District Botanist, and a truly special guest appearance was made when Smokey Bear met the group in the forest by the lake. The kids learned all about Forest Ecology from Krista and Smokey, and enjoyed the after- noon dancing in sprinklers un- der the warm Oregon sun. Birch Avenue Dental Park W. McClung, DDS • Tammy L.
