Chiloquin restoring iconic mural By STEPHEN FLOYD H&N Staff Reporter July 1, 2018
CHILOQUIN — Restoration of a community mural in Chiloquin has been under way in recent weeks, with a grand opening scheduled for July 14. The restoration is being led by Judy Pate, of Two Rivers Art Gallery, who gathered community donations and volunteers for the project. Pate said she wanted to restore the 16-year-old mural before too much time passed and the mural was beyond repair.
project. The community also raised nearly $800 during a Valentines Day dinner fundraiser, while Chiloquin Fire & Rescue helped prepare for restoration by spraying the wall clean. Pate said the project would not have been possible without volunteers, both those who helped paint and those who operated the gallery while restoration was under way.

The mural was completed in 2002 on the side of the old Community Center on South First Avenue as part of a countywide art initiative. Dubbed “Mazama to the Millennium,” the mural depicts the cultural and historical heritage of Klamath County including the Klamath Tribes, local ranchers and Upper Klamath Lake.
The grand opening will celebrate restoration of the mural as well as installation of signs on Highway 97 directing tourists to amenities available in Chiloquin. City Hall confirmed Friday materials for the signs were being picked up that day and the fixtures should be installed sometime next week.
Local students helped design and paint the mural with guidance from artist Leonard Wilder. Community support included paint and supplies donated by Kircher’s Hardware.
Pate said the sign will promote the Chiloquin Rodeo and Event Park, recreational opportunities and businesses in town. She said many groups contributed to the signs including the Chiloquin City Council, Kircher’s, volunteers and artists from the gallery, Discover Klamath and Discover Southern Oregon.
Kircher’s stepped up again for restoration and sold paint at wholesale prices for the
