Earth dragon to join Bigfoot

Ten exchange students, visiting from Snoqualmie’s sister city of Gangjin, South Korea, will build memories, and a traditional sculpture on their visit to the Valley.

Working with North Bend artist Bob Antone and his wife, Laura, students will create a dragon sculpture of tree bark, branches and wire, similar to Anton’s Sasquatch creation on display at the North Bend Visitor Information Center, 250 Bendigo Blvd.

The sculpture will be built outside the visitors center, and people will be encouraged to write messages onto scraps of fabric, then tie them onto the dragon, to flutter in the wind.

Community members are invited to participate in creating the sculpture, and planners are currently seeking donations of materials, including wire, colorful fabric, branches, and antlers.
