Oregon Farmer of the Year

My dad was nominated for Farmer of the Year for the state of Oregon. In doing so they paired up an artist with a farmer from different areas. The artist meet with the farmer(s) several times during the year to get a feel for what they did and how to present the farmer using art. Then in March of 2004 they displayed the art at the Maryhill Museum in Washington State. Since we lived close my parents picked up Ashton and myself. We then drove to pickup Eli who was fishing on the Columbia River for Sturgeon. This is my Grandma Frahm. The artist did alot of paintings, and used horse hair, onion sacks and took pictures of grandma, trevor, ken, dad, mom and of different things around the farm and in the area. These are pictures of the art that I took while at the museum.
This the artist depecting the onion shed, it is on canvas with horse hair in the corners on top of an onio bag.
This is showing the railroad tracks by the snake river looking at sherwood lake, which is more of a settlement pond on the farm that drains into the river. It is a way to have the dirt settle before going into the river, to make the environmentalist happy.
This has a small picture in the top right showing onion harvest with a harvester and the larger picture is showing how my grandpa and grandma farmed the farm back in the 1930's.
This was a thing the lady did she took pictures of everyone on the farm and I dont remember what the small description said in the bottom.
