Holding Court reporter as she
reeled off the benefits bestowed by the MAPS Community Foundation. Did you know
that MAPS donates a penny every time a member with a free

No sheepishness here
It’s time once again to gather
up the kids in the mom-mobile
and head off to the Willamette
Heritage Center for the annual
Sheep to Shawl event.
This Saturday from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. families will enjoy a
free day of crafts, games, music
and animals.
Ever-eager Executive Director Bob Reinhardt popped his
head through a cutout in an illustration and posed as a sheep
for us. On Saturday, children
may follow his lead.
The idea behind the event is
to demonstrate the process of
how sheep produce wool, and
then how wool is used to produce clothing, and then how
clothing is used to create closet
clutter.
Visit willametteheritage.org
for details or call 503-585-7012.
For those new to these here
parts, the Heritage Center is at
1313 Mill St. SE in Salem, just a
short beer away from the RAM.
