Ashland, Oregon is a fine town and home to The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, one of the finest regional theater companies in the nation. It is a place where you can walk into a restaurant and overhear high school students discussing Shakespeare. It is also home to Lithia Park, a large city park designed by John McClaren who designed the Golden Gate Park in San Fransisco. Like the Golden Gate Park, Lithia Park is full of trees, ponds and wildlife.
Here is some news from Lithia Park and Ashland that you missed. We quote directly from the local paper:
Dog Attack – Lower Duck Pond, Lithia Park, Ashland Oregon. Police responded to a report of two dogs running loose and attacking ducks about 11:20 AM Sunday.
The officer cited a resident for the loose dogs. The duck refused medical treatment and left the area.
