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.

From the
City's Friday
Update
to school and it’s the tra-
ditional month to focus on
preparedness.
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.

“Signs, signs, ev-
erywhere a sign…
The summer season seems
to bring with it a plethora of
yard sale, garage sale, for sale,
lost pet, event, and celebra-
tion signs of various sizes and
shapes. 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

that takes staff and volunteers

endeavors. Citizens are remind-
ed that signs are not allowed in
the public right-of-way or on
utility poles, regulatory signs,
public buildings and structures
or utility junction boxes. 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.
