Big Red dead but quilts still there
SCIO, OREGON... Known for Linn County's Lamb and Wool Fair in May, Scio is a neat small Oregon town that used to have a chicken mascot and home made quilts at the Fair.
On July 11, Big Red, Scio's chicken mascot, met an untimely end with a tough dog. So next year, Big Red won't be pointing the way to the quilts in the school gym.
Big Red was a proud Rhode Island Red, but now he's dead. Read the full story of Scio's unofficial patrol rooster in Albany's Democrat-Herald on July 12.
But if you are a quilter or a quilter-looker, drive up Ore. Hwy 226 to Scio in May. Get an elephant ear with sugar and cinnamon, visit the train depot museum, shop in the feed store visitor shelves, and check out the quilts in the gym.
'Course there are some other neat and unusual events in Scio on Thomas Creek during the Fair.
