THE ENCORE

We're sure you will enjoy this death-defying show. And if you're ever in the Northwest, even parts of the Northwest, you can always hear the cries of the lumberjack. Timber-r-r-r. But this 35-minute contest is only part of our show. Inside the pavilion, in case you haven't already noticed, there is our State exhibit, featuring the many outstanding attractions from Oregon, where you can relax in the state of excitement. Also for your pleasure is the gift shop with rare and delicately carved wood and clay artifacts. Many of the wood accessories are sold in exclusive furniture stores across the country. They are a speciality of Mike McVay of Dallas, Oregon. There also is a fine assortment of jewelry made from the highly-prized Myrtlewood as well as hematite jewelry known as "Black Diamonds". The gift shop has many redwood adornments for any home. And don't forget to try a sample Aplet or Cotlet, the delicious fruit-nut candy brought to America from Armenia 40 years ago . . . and now available in the east for the first time. We know you'll want to send some home. There is an indoor snack bar or if you prefer to go "native" why not try the outdoor barbecue where western cooking is the order of the day. Meals range from barbecued steaks, chicken, spareribs, and corn on the cob. You can enjoy your western style meal while studying six hand-carved McVay originals depicting various eras of Oregon history . . . and there are plenty of tables and chairs for your comfort.

PAUL BUNYAN

Giant of the Woods

Where ever there are loggers, you're bound to hear the tales of Paul Bunyan, the lumberjack of all lumberjacks. This giant of a man lives as a legend in every forest ... in every lumberjack camp from the Northwest to the greens of Vermont At the Oregon Timber Carnival, Bunyan is well represented. Posing as a striking centurion of the pavilion is the giant size (30 feet tall) replica of the famous woodsman. But inside the rustic pavilion, Bill Little, a 6-9, mammoth 310-pounder portrays the Paul Bunyan of yesteryear. To tangle with either can be dangerous, but both are willing to pose for photographs.
