Dogwood Festival Announces Artwork Contest

Remember that scene in the movie American President when Michael Douglas’ presidential character, Andrew Sheperd, goes back and forth with the flower shop about dogwoods being both a flower and a tree.

Well, that’s true. They are both a flower and a tree. You can throw them together into artwork that could become the next design concept for the 2012 Dogwood Festival. The festival is taking submissions for a winning concept for their marketing campaign.

The are no design parameters except the design must incorporate the text, “2012 Dogwood Festival of the Lewis-Clark Valley”. Artists can decide to add this text into their submission or allow a Dogwood Festival graphics artist add it in later.

In Brief: Snowstorms Expected

We've already seen our first snow in the Inland Northwest and KXLY4's Chief Meteorologist Kris Crocker said several more winter storms are on the way.

Light to moderate snow is expected Wednesday in the valleys, Crocker said. The chance of snow lingers through Friday with moderate to heavy snowfall in the valleys.

She also said the temperatures aren't going to climb high enough to do much melting anytime soon.

Now That's a Japanese Maple

That's not a pile of leaves. Surely there are leaf piles in the world that are this big, but this is not it. It's actually a tree. It belongs to the Lowry residence in Lewiston.

Kris Crocker, KXLY meteorologist, shared this with the KXLY Facebook. She stated that it is not Mr. Snuffleupagus, even though it had some of us fooled.

"It's Julane Lowry's Japanese Maple! I've never seen one quite so huge. Julane, who lives in Lewiston, Idaho, says her mother purchased the tree 41 years ago when it was a twig."

Share: Do you have tree or shrub you're rather proud of in your yard?
