A Weekend of Wacky Mobile Art.
The ninth annual Klamath Kinetic Challenge will again be held in conjunction with the Klamath Kruise, June 27th - 29th. Watch the website for details! Saturday will take you from Veterans Park to Moore Park, the sand pit and then KOA. Sunday will start at KOA, head to Moore Park, on the water, then to Veterans Park, the Mud Pit and more water! If you’ve had your head in the sand the last nine years you may not know what a Kinetic Sculpture Race is. Kinetic Sculptures are homemade, human powered vehicles able to travel (hopefully) over land, sand, muck, rocks, and oh yeah, water. They carry one, two, four or more people. The race is to see if these fantastic creations are able to negotiate the course. Awards are given for engineering/construction, art, speed, and many other frivolous achievements such ad dominating the Mud Pit. The Race is really a Festival put on FOR THE FUN of all involved, including spectators. Anyone can get involved and build a Sculpture for the race. Sculptures came from all over for previous events. in 2008 five local teams entered, and in 2007 there were six. We’re hoping even more adventurous, ingenious people from Klamath Falls, and elsewhere, will enter sculptures in the future. Race festivities are best enjoyed by those directly involved. Workshops are held every once in a while to assist you with the pesky details of building a Sculpture of your own. Check our website at www.klamathkinetic.org for upcoming workshops and contacts who can help with information. Volunteers are always needed. Planning is already underway, and you can have a positive impact. Volunteers are highly appreciated by the racers and “bribes” are readily given. You really don’t want to miss this event! Again, check our website for whom to contact. Participants probably have the most fun, as they are intimately

involved in the Sculptures, but spectators have a great time watching the spectacle as well. The Race begins on Saturday at Veteran’s Park. The course takes the Sculptures down Klamath Avenue to Main Street, beginning in earnest there. Then up the steep climb of KAGO Hill, continuing down the “Gravel Boulevard” to Moore Park where they will cross the Sand Pit, then the racers will follow city streets to the KOA. Sunday the racers will begin at the KOA and take a street route back to Moore Park and will enter Klamath Lake at the Marina, come back out and head down the Link River Trail, then back to Veteran’s Park and the Mud Pit and then go for another swim. There are several great locations for viewing the Racers along the route, with many spectators choosing to follow along on foot or bike, or driving to different locations to see how their favorite Sculpture does in the different obstacles. Dinner will be available for purchase in Veteran’s Park Sunday evening, where awards will be given and entertainment will happen. Join the fun! You’ll be glad you did.

The Rip City Riders are a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who want to help their community and show that the sometimes negative perception of motorcycle riders is not accurate. They hold an annual fundraiser, and have raised more than $30,000 to donate to non-profit organizations benefitting children. The 7th Annual Summer Fun Run & Festival will be held at the 3901 Brooke Dr. and will raise funds and awareness for several children's charities. Each year this event brings hundreds of bikers and rally enthusiasts from Oregon and surrounding states. It is the largest rally in Southern Oregon. Attractions include the Spectacle of Bikes Parade, Poker Run, Bike Games, contests, tattoo artists, live bands, a bike show, an auction, door prizes, raffles, and vendors galore! After-party festivities are distributed at the event. This year’s event kicks off Friday, July 11. There will be live music on Saturday featuring Half Light Canyon and 2nd Ammendment. Saturday morning’s “Spectacle of Bike” will begin the day’s Poker Run. The parade offers the opportunity for spectators to get a good look at the show-quality bikes the participants bring to town. The Poker Run takes the riders through many scenic areas of Klamath County. Back at the site there are lots of festivities including contests, vendors,, live music, and activities for all ages. The festival continues through Sunday at 2pm. The public is encouraged to come out to this event, enjoy the sunshine and activities and see what the Rip City Riders are all about.

Crater Lake National Park Crater Lake was known to local Native Americans, but remained undiscovered to white explorers until 1853. Three prospectors came across it that year, but it wasn’t until Captain Clarence Dutton of the U.S. Geological Survey explored it that much was known about Crater Lake. In 1902 Crater Lake became Oregon’s only National Park. It is also the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet and seventh deepest in the world. Formed by the eruption of Mt. Mazama 7,700 years ago, the lake is supplied only by rain and snow melt. With its 2,000 foot cliffs on the inside of the caldera, and deep blue lake, this park is a must see! The park is located 62 miles Northwest of Klamath Falls. Take Hwy 97 to Chiloquin and then Hwy 62 to the park. Crater Lake is open year round, but access is limited during the winter to the south entrance. Many activities are available at the park. In the summer there are 90 miles of hiking trails, including a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail, boat tours to Wizard Island, and exploring the park, discovering its wildlife and plant life. In the winter the trails become cross country ski routes, and snowshoeing is popular. Interpretive talks are also given by park rangers. It is possible to stay overnight in the park. If you want to camp in the park’s backcountry permits are required. Contact the park for information. The Crater Lake Lodge is an elegant option for accomodations. The lodge is on the National Register of Historic Places, and rehabilitation was completed in 1994. There are also campgrounds and a motel at Mazama Village. In 1905, a first time visitor to Crater Lake described the nature experience in words that are as perfect today as they were then: “…No other place in the world permits the eye to behold 20 square miles of placid blue water in which the mirrored walls vie with the original slopes in brilliance. Man’s mind turns weakly to the beginning of the world and he realizes how short his time is on earth. But short as it is, it should include a visit to this indescribable and wonderful region.” Phone: 541-594-2211

The Klamath Falls Sunrise Rotary Club has donated over $30,000 over the last ten years to this worthy cause. Camp Evergreen, under the umbrella of Klamath Hospice, relies on Sunrise Rotary to fulfill its mission to help kids deal with their loss.

Non-Lead Ammunition Helps Wildlife
Hunters have a long history of supporting and conserving Oregon’s wildlife. Continue that tradition by switching to non-lead ammunition. Non-lead ammunition is available for most rifles, handguns and shotguns. High performance non-lead bullets have the same stopping power as lead, but leave fewer bullet fragments that can be swallowed by scavengers and other wildlife. Switching to nonelead ammunition means eagles, scavengers, other wildlife and humans will not be exposed to lead fragments in game meat. Lead can be harmful to wildlife and humans. A nationwide ban on lead shot for waterfowl hunting is credited with saving - millions of ducks, geese and waterfowl from lead poisoning. Birds of prey, scavengers and other wildlife can be harmed by eating meat containing lead fragments.

Lava Beds National Monument: A Great Excursion for the Whole Family!
The Lava Beds are a great place of beauty and Indian history for all to enjoy, learn about and explore. The volcanic turmoil which produced the raw materials for the surface land forms which you see in Lava Beds National Monument also left a vast array of lava tubes below ground. There are over 435 known lava tubes within the monument. A few lava tubes display evidence of having “blown their tops” from accumulated gas pressures during their formation. In most cases the entrances which permit discovery and exploration are the result of collapse a short time after the tubes were formed. Formation of the lava tubes was the result of very hot fluid lava issuing from cracks of fissures on the moderate slopes of the Medicine Lake Volcano. As the lava flowed it began to cool and solidify on the top and Your sides. The conforming crust One insulated the molten lava as it Stop continued to flow. When the eruption ceased, the remaining Shop lava drained away, leaving lava In tubes. The surfaces collapsed Merrill to permit entrance into the 104 E. Front Street caves we know today.

eral safety information. It is generally advised that each person carry a light source, wear protective clothing, sturdy shoes and head gear, carry an extra jacket, go with a friend, tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, don’t change your plans, and stay near your car. Most caves are open to the public to visit on their own. However, Crystal Ice Cave and Fern Cave require reservations for guided tours due to their sensitive environments. Some caves require crawling to negotiate parts of the passageway, so bring a pair of gloves and take safety precautions. Caving is only one of the activities available at the Lava Beds. Numerous trails are available for hiking, and most are not very long and lead to significant areas. There are also a number of significant locations associated with the Modoc Indian War such as Captain Jack’s Stronghold and Gillam’s Camp. The Petroglyph area is also something not to be missed. Remember to bring your own water, because there are no streams or ponds in the park. Rattlesnakes inhabit the park, so caution is recommended. Park headquarters for the Lava Beds is 30 miles from Tulelake, California and 58 miles from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Watch for signs on California 139, 5 miles south of Tulelake and 26 miles north of Canby. In the summer park rangers lead daily walks and cave trips and conduct campfire programs. Food, lodging, gasoline, oil and auto repairs are available in Tulelake and Klamath Falls. Near the visitor center a 40 unit campground with sites suitable for tents, campers, and small trailers is open all year. There are no hookups. Water is available during the summer. From September 15 to May 15 water is available at the visitor center. For visitor information call 530667-2282 ext 232. REMEMBER!! Lava tube caves are irreplaceable treasures. Lava formations will not grow back once broken. Please do not break, deface, remove, or otherwise vandalize any cave formations (lava, ice, etc.) in any way. Lets save it for future generations to come!

Klamath Restoration Celebration Held each year on the fourth weekend in August. This annual event marks the anniversary of the Restoration of the Klamath Tribes, which includes; the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin Bands of the Snake Indians. In 1954 the Klamath Tribes were terminated. But after many years of struggling, hard work and determination, the Tribes regained federal recognition by an act of Congress. With restoration in 1986 the Tribes began to develop a full scope of programs which provide necessary services to Tribal members and the

The Klamath County Museum system includes several museums
that can provide a fun and educational diversion for all ages to enjoy. Whether you are interested in anthropology, history, geology or wildlife, there is something for everyone. Baldwin Hotel Museum Built in 1906 to lodge the anticipated travelers arriving by train from San Francisco who came to experience the outdoors and see Crater Lake. Guides set the mood as they narrate a living history of Klamath Falls. Exhibits are so real you expect the guest to return any minute. You will enjoy original furnishings and an enchanting trip down memory lane. Listed on the State and National Historic Registers. Klamath County Museum Spend an hour or all day browsing through Klamath’s history. Birds displayed in natural habitat, Native American artifacts and dioramas, relics from Pioneer days and wagon roads each tell a story of the region’s heritage. Early Native American treaties and the Modoc War of 1872-73 set the stage for a trip to the site to better understand this phase in American history. From the museum, you can develop your personal itinerary of sightseeing or enjoying a multiple of recreational choices. Fort Klamath Museum and Park On the road to Crater Lake, stop by the first frontier military post in the region which was established here in 1863. The guardhouse (museum) exhibits fort relics, pictures and has a small gift shop. Picnic under the pines and let your imagination paint a picture of the past. The gravesites of Captain Jack, Modoc Chief, and three warriors are a short distance from the museum. The Little Red Post Office was moved to the grounds in 1998 to preserve the postal history of the Klamath Indian Agency. During summer months, the Living History Association of Oregon stages reenactments in period clothing. Ask about dates.

Crater Lake Century Ride The Crater Lake Century Ride is a 100 mile ride that will take place August 16, 2014. The Ride began in 2005 and is a fundraiser for the Klamath Lake County Food Bank and the Klamath County Museums. Since 2005 the Ride has donated over $43,000. There are two rides available to participants. The Century Ride is 100 miles long, and the Metric Century is 62 miles long. Both rides (this is not a race) are rated extremely difficult by the Bicycle Ride Directors Association of America. Riders will begin their trek at the Fort Klamath Museum on the Crater Lake Highway (Hwy 62) at an elevation of 4,000 feet, and will enjoy the first 35 miles along the valley floor of the Wood River Valley with breathtaking views of the surrounding Cascade Mountains and old growth forests. They will then climb 3,000 feet to the Crater Lake Rim. Once they reach the Rim, Century Riders will continue another along another 30 miles of peaks and valleys of Rim Drive. Then riders will enjoy the ride back down to the Wood River Valley and will end the ride with 8 miles of flat roads back to the Fort Klamath Museum. The Metric Century ride will start at the Fort Klamath Museum also, but will begin to ascend to the Rim of Crater Lake after 8 miles. Riders will turn around on the Crater Lake Rim at the Phantom Ship Overlook, and after a well-deserved break, will descend back down to the Wood River Valley and the Fort Klamath Museum. Riders are required to wear helmets, and are advised to bring water, tube, patch kit, tire levers, pump, spare tire and dress in layers. For more details and registration information see the website at www.craterlakecentury.com. There are 300 maximum spots for riders, 275 for the Century and 25 for the Metric Century. Spots fill quickly, so don't wait!

Second, we continue to strive to invigorate our p downtown community and offer visitors to the area an experience that r reflects the greater Klamath basin “Flavor”, not only with great produce i and prepared food, but also local artisans and craftsmen/women and g their creations. e This season we’ll have more than a dozen local area produc ers with a great variety and quality of veggies, fruit and herbs, local T grass-fed beef, honey and eggs and canned-pickled foods. Over the f years, the increase of foot traffic/customers has provided our farmers d the incentive to expand what they have to offer…the variety through the season is impressive and continues to grow. Our artisans have a S great mix of different media, from woodworking, textiles, jewelry, pot- w tery, massage therapy and visual artists to local authors…wonderfully s W creative local talent on display. Our Children’s Program director Susan Smith has a very cool lineup of craft projects for kids of all ages through the season, always a a free, educational and very fun, every week. Local musicians have always been a staple at the market and we have a great bunch sched- e uled through the year to make you tap your foot or maybe do a jig.

Also available, as in the past, we have yummy bakery/pastry vendors for breads and a cure for your sweet tooth….mmmmm! 2014 will be the fourth year to provide a program for folks to use their EBT Oregon Trail card to make healthy local food choices. This program, as well as providing access for the State run Senior Farm Direct Program and WIC, continues to grow and gain awareness…providing this access for low income families is a part of our mission and very gratifying that it’s getting more attention and being used more and more every year. And here’s a big deal, we’re adding a WEDNESDAY MARKET!! This will be a second or alternate opportunity for folks to access our farmers and produce. Starting on June 18th and running every Wednesday through at least September, we will be at the Town & Country Shopping Center, 3842 South 6th Street (Big Lots), from 3pm to 6pm… we will have a number local agriculture producers, increasing as the season progresses. Stop in and pick up farm fresh local veggies. EBT, WIC/SFDNP are available at this new location too. Please, please, don’t hesitate to call us with ANY questions, about products, services or programs, or if you’d like info on becoming a vendor...it’s a challenge but we’re always searching for small producers/farmers to join our little family Market. Growing in the basin, thanks to you…SHOP LOCAL, MAKE IT SOCIAL! (541) 273-1102 INFO@KLAMATHFALLSFARMERSMARKET.ORG . WWW.KLAMATHFALLSFARMERSMARKET.ORG
