BUNCOM DAY 2011

Community Booths
& Displays

It's a well known fact that metropolitan Buncom and the surrounding area are home to all sorts of clubs, interest groups, and talented folks. A whole passel of them shared their wisdom and/or demonstrated their crafts at the community booths and displays.

Lace-Making – if you’ve ever wondered how on earth a piece of string turns into a doilie or a lovely lace collar, you found out from Paula

Noxious Weeds – Barb explained the ins and outs of star thistle, bull thistle, and all those pesky things found amidst the beauty of the Applegate Valley

Forest Thinning sounded easy the way Ryan described it, using his expertise to help us understand how to keep our homes safe from wildfire

Paranormal – in other words, ghosts and goblins – bet you didn’t know there are ghosts at Buncom – lots of folks learned about them from Darcy and her colleague

Making Trails – fhe folks from the Siskiyou Upland Trails Association were on hand to talk about their work in re-opening and linking trails throughout the Rogue Valley

Mercy Flights Marguerite provided information on how to support this essential emergency service in our community

Fire Safety – Carey and her colleagues brought one of the District 9 fire trucks, which fortunately they did not need to demonstrate. That meant they were on hand to talk about the latest in fire safety

Jacksonville Museum – James let people know what's up and what's planned in the big city nearby

McKee Bridge Historical Society had their snazzy mobile museum on-site and just loved to talk about their current projects

Buncom Historical Society – the organizers have been too busy recuperating from the excitement of Buncom Day to add up the number of new members who signed on that day. As you can see, no one is too young to join the Buncom Historical Society!
