'Welcome' benches added to museum courtyard

For four sunny days in August 1988, the exciting buzz of chainsaws could be heard on Kootenai Street’s entrance into downtown Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The Boundary County Resource Council, with generous donations from the community, had commissioned a well-known chainsaw artist, Dave Clark of Eureka, Mont., to carve a sculpture on site. The newly carved structure would greet the public as they turned into town by the Visitor’s Center.
