"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.

"Kneeland man honored for decoy carving"
Leonard Rousseau of Kneeland recently won the World Championship title in the decorative decoy pairs division at this year’s 48th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving and Art Festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
This is an international event that features about 1,200 different wildfowl carvings representing more than 150 species from around the world.
Rousseau has been carving decoys for over 30 years and has won numerous Best of Show awards. His carvings have been featured in Wildfowl Carving magazine, have been purchased by collectors from across the country and can be seen in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Visitor Center in Loleta. His winning pair of Gadwall ducks will be on display for one year at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

What is the Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show?
The show is an event where carvers, collectors, and visitors convene in Astoria, Oregon. From highly decorative works of art to functional hunting decoys, about 400 different carvings from around the United States and Canada can be viewed.
Woodcarvers of all levels – from youth to novices to world champions – compete against their peers for the chance to win prize money and ribbons. There are over 50 different categories in which an artist can compete. The show is a waterfowl, wildlife, fish, native American, Artistic Creations, and other wood carving competitions and art show.
The show's purpose is to promote these art forms.
Artists from all over come to compete and display their art forms. Most artists are from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Montana, and British Columbia although there are artists from all over the United States and Canada in attendance. Mail-in entries are also accepted.

It all began with an idea to show the beauty of hand-carved waterfowl and wildlife.
Since 1988, the Columbia Flyway Show has been a labor of love for the Feather and Quill Carvers Club. The show has progressed from meager beginnings in the Columbia Art Center, a converted old church basement, to motel conference rooms, to the City of Vancouver's Water Resources Education Center. The show has enjoyed a wonderful 10-year run in Vancouver.
After the hugely successful 2019 show, the event has outgrown the Center. After two non-show years due to the Covid Virus, the 2022 event was held in Astoria, Oregon, on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
The Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show has become one of the premier wildlife carving shows in the country as a result of the dedication of a small group of carvers and artists, as well as membership in the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. Carvers come from all over the U.S. and Canada to participate in the competition and to share with and learn from other carvers and artists.
The new venue, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center feature a new, spacious 15,000 s/f exhibit hall. Due to the size of the Expo Center, there is ample room for displays, vendors, and demos.
A large part of the success of the Flyway Show is the ongoing seminars by Professional and World Champion carvers. Friday is dedicated to a full-day, hands-on pay class. Saturday and Sunday find non-stop free and pay seminars open to all visitors.
The banquet is held in the showroom on Saturday evening. Good food, fun, and fellowship are followed by the after-dinner auction. A wonderful evening in a beautiful setting!
This new venue is picture-perfect with every amenity for a show focusing on wildlife art. Astoria, Oregon, located at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, is rich in history. Astoria is a wonderful area to enjoy all the sites of the beautiful Oregon Coast. Lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist sights to enjoy.
Make your plans now to attend the wildlife carving show, “ON THE OTHER COAST”.
That is the name of my blog, a place where I can share my thoughts on my adventures. With a amateur view on it!
sharing this week's photo with the grimm is my collie, jonah. he's the most mellow guy you'll ever meet, but occasionally has moments of wanting to play, but not knowing how. thus, he follows grimm around trying to fit her head in his mouth. she generally ignores him in the interest of keeping the game of fetch going.
Jimmy Dean let Frank share his blanket for a little rest before their nap. The big guy has a tender heart.

My 51st b.d. was on the day I had to travel through the night to NC for my Dad's memorial service. My sweet sister-in-law there from Indonesia made a patriotic looking cake on the 4th for a late celebration of my b.d. with about 21 other family members :>))
