Sand Lake, OR Bear Park - William "Wibb" Ward 1911-1984 Chainsaw art

Information: Using a chain saw, Ward created a five acre environment populated by bears carved from pine logs. Many of the bears were used to illustrate his personal beliefs, especially that government should stay out of the way of private business. Visitors are welcome.
