Brad Pit Excavation Still in Progress We are making headway on the new sewage treatment facility at ECF despite the continuing archeological work on the site. U of O students have spent the summer finishing up removal of a wide variety of coproliferous artifacts. NOTE: Will the patron who removed several white porcelain bowls from the vicinity of the dig site please return them to the plumbing department? Burning Man Fest & Art Extravaganza The ECF Burning Man Fest was inaugurated this summer when visitor Blaze Garrison stepped too close to the barbecue at our annual juried art show. Many guests believed Blaze was a performance art entry and voted him an honorable mention in the sculpture category.
Of the two remaining entries one, named Millennial Disco Ball, received second place. No first place prize was awarded. |
