Welcome To Springfield Mural, Artists: Old City Artists, Springfield, Oregon
|

The mural, called "Welcome to Springfield Oregon," occupied the entire side of a large building. The flying Great Blue Heron's wing extended down, almost all the way to the ground, and covered a window. The right hand side of the building was occupied by the word, "Oregon," a tall Great Blue Heron, and an arrow pointing to, "George + Violet's House." The left hand side of the building was decorated with large purple flowers. The artist's signature was partly obscured by a rusted metal fence. The signature read, "Old City Artists . com." The middle of the building was occupied by the words, "Welcome To Spring...," and a large flying Great Blue Heron.

More waves splashed up the side opposite a person seated and watching. A sign at the top of the stairway down read in part: "Devils Churn, General Warnings, Prohibited Activities." A short video of the Devils Churn and the Pacific Ocean. Brandon led Westley (in white shirt) and Oliver (in dark shirt) over the rock shelf. Another sign was at the bottom of the trail down. It read, "Warning, Waves Break on ledge. Stand Back! You could be swept out to sea, injured and drown. Shallow places in the rock shelf filled with water when the tide was in, and left behind tide pools when the tide was out. A winding trail led down from the cliffs to the Devils Churn.

Whales Of The Oregon Coast
|
|

The whale surfaced and cleared its blow hole again. The whale submerged, leaving behind a circle of bubbles. The whale blew a mist of water out of its blow hole. A while later the back of the whale was more apparent. A while far off shore barely broke the surface that afternoon. A short while later it blew out its blow hole again.

Energy Park, An Area, 2024 Oregon Country Fair, Veneta, Oregon
|
|
|
|
A sign, near the entrance to Energy Park, was also a map. A boy petaled a bicycle as fast as he could to produce bubbles. Sadly he only petaled fast enough to produce foam. A table exhibited a Van de Graaff generator. A man at a blackboard filled in the rules of energy. Two signs were above an electric bicycle booth. One read, "$ave A Planet." The other sign read, "Electrify Transportation."
