The National Cattle Congress is an annual agricultural event held in Waterloo, Iowa. It was first held in 1910.[1]
The Hippodrome and the Electric Park Ballroom are located on the National Cattle Congress grounds.
History
Unlike other events such as the Iowa State Fair, Cattle Congress was held every year, even during World War II.[1]
In the 1980s, the NCC organization started a greyhound racing business to attempt to generate additional revenue. This was a commercial failure, and the organization declared bankruptcy in 1993. The event was cancelled in 1994 as a result.[1] The racetrack shut down in 1996 after a failed referendum to allow slot machines,[2] and the facility was destroyed in 2018.[3]
In 2008, the fairgrounds were used as a temporary holding facility for 260 illegal immigrants arrested in a raid in Postville, Iowa.[4]
There was no convention in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, nor was there one in 1917–18 due to World War I.
The Wonder Book of Knowledge
Sorry, but I don't know too much about this, because the title page is missing. Based on its contents, I estimate it be from the 1920's or 30s. If anyone knows the specific, I'd like to hear about it.
As is obvious from the picture, its been well enjoyed over the decades, a lot.
Behold...the Sacred Books of Knowledge!
This used to be a single book. "Revised and Expanded" doesn't begin to describe how much more of an improvement this is. ALL the photos are in COLOR.

Oregon Coast
The Oregon Coast is a region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It runs generally north-south along the Pacific Ocean, forming the western border of the state; the region is bounded to the east by the Oregon Coast Range. The Oregon Coast stretches approximately 363 miles (584 km) from the Columbia River in the north to the Oregon–California state border in the south. The Oregon Coast is not a specific geological, environmental, or political entity but, instead, includes the entire coastline of Oregon, including the Columbia River Estuary.
1967's Oregon Beach Bill allows free beach access to everyone. This bill allows private beach landowners to retain certain beach land rights, but it removes the property tax obligation of the beach landowner. In exchange, the beach landowner grants an easement passage to pedestrians. The Beach Bill grants a public access easement on the beach that cannot be taken away by the landowner nor can the landowner build on the beach.[1]
Traditionally, the Oregon Coast is regarded as three distinct sub-regions,[2] each with its own local features and regional history. While there are no legal or objective boundaries, most Oregonians consider the three regions to be:
The North Coast, which stretches from the Columbia River to Neskowin.[3]
The Central Coast, which stretches from Lincoln City to Florence.[4]
The South Coast, which stretches from Reedsport to the Oregon–California border.[5]
The largest city along the Oregon Coast is Coos Bay—population 16,000[6]—in Coos County on the South Coast. U.S. Route 101 is the primary highway from Astoria to Brookings, and is known for its scenic overlooks of the Pacific Ocean. There are over 80 state parks and recreation areas along the Oregon Coast. However, there are only a few highways that cross the coast mountains from the interior to the coast. This has led to highways US-20, US-30, US-26, SR-18 and SR-22, all serving the Willamette Valley / Portland area to the North and Central Coasts as being considered some of the worst in terms of traffic,[7] a conclusion disputed by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Highways SR-18 and US-20 are considered two of the most dangerous roads in the state.[8]
The Oregon Coast includes Clatsop County, Tillamook County, Lincoln County, western Lane County, western Douglas County, Coos County, and Curry County.

Tourists visit the cave interior
Cueva de los Verdes (Spanish for "Verdes' cave", from the "Verdes" family) is a lava tube and tourist attraction of the Haria municipality on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands (Spain). The cave lies within the Monumento Natural del MalpaÃs de La Corona, a protected area of the Canary Islands.[1]
The cave was created around 3,000 years ago by lava flows erupted from the nearby volcano Monte Corona, flowing across the MalpaÃs de la Corona toward the sea. The lava streams cooled on top, developing a solid crust, before the lava drained away leaving the top part as the roof of a cave. In about 20 spots, the roof of the cave collapsed, forming a cavern known locally as a jameo. The caves extend for 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) above sea level and for another 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) below the sea (the Tunnel de la Atlantida).[2]
One jameo forms the entrance to the Cueva de los Verdes. Two kilometres of the cave system were developed for tourists in the 1960s, with the cave walls illuminated by colorful lights.
The cave is also famous for its concert hall which is located near the entrance and exit of the cave. The concert hall has about 15 to 20 rows with 26 seats in each row, allowing up to 500 people in the concert hall at once.
In earlier centuries, inhabitants throughout Lanzarote hid in this cave to protect themselves from European pirates and Muslim slave raiders.
