13 Sept 10 - Blues Bears

Saturday, we attended the "3rd Annual BeetleFest" in Frisco. This unique zany event is designed to bring education and awareness regarding the devastation caused by the mountain pine beetle.

There were two men carving pine beetle kill logs into sculptures. One person was making pumpkins and the other person (John Henley) had carved these two bears with a chainsaw. We really liked the looks of these bears and were amazed how he was able to carve them out and show the blue stain of the tree. Especially notice the nose.

We decided to name them the "Blues Bears" for the Blues Brothers. Sunglasses during the summer and ski goggles during the winter. They both come with signs (to be delivered next week). One will have "Welcome" on one side and "Gone Hiking" on the other. The second sign will say "Feed Me" and "Wipe Y're Paws".
