Oregon Ducks Pumpkin Carving

On the University of Oregon campus today, one of the executive chefs for the University displayed some amazing Pumpkin carving skills.

Per the artist, the pumpkin you see to the very top took about four hours to complete. It is one of the coolest carved pumpkins that I have ever seen.

Along with showcasing some of his best art, the chef offered some advice to the students who were interested in learning some pumpkin carving skills this upcoming Halloween.

Ritz Quacker - Painted Ducks On Parade

While I was out exploring the streets of Eugene, I came across one of the Painted Ducks! Several years ago, there were a number of these ducks placed about the city. Now and days, your lucky if you see one or two.

This duck is located near Wells Fargo Bank and Ambrosia restaurant on East Broadway Ave between Pearl and Oak St.
