Bauman's Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off Field Trip

At Bauman's, we saw giant pumpkins and we did a lot of stuff. We saw the weigh-off of the giant pumpkins. We interviewed the winner and one of the pumpkin growers. The winner promised to send us his seeds of his giant pumpkin that weighed 1,576.5 pounds! A lot of kids from Fried Eagle seemed excited, and we were wondering how we're going to grow giant pumpkins.

News Notes School Announcement!

WE’LL SELL ALL THE FRIED EAGLES ON FRIDAYS! 

It is kids working together to make comics and articles--and especially articles--for a magazine. Zine is short for magazine. Fried Eagle is called a zine. 

All the money goes to the Ainsworth public school. We’ll walk around after school at 2:15 until 2:45, so that’s 30 minutes. You guys don’t have to rush, we’ll be there for a while. It’s costs $2 or more money. The rest of the extra money goes to Ainsworth. 

You can turn in your order form envelope in at the main office, too. You’ll get a zine that way, too.

So make sure to buy a Fried Eagle zine! Here’s our blog: www.friedeagle.blogspot.com.

Peace out people and (achoo!) bless you! And have a good day!

The New Sheriffs in Town

We have a few new sheriffs in town: the Fried Eagle Staff. Lookout! The kids are taking over the blog! Here's their first post:

We did lots of comics and we had snack! It was a winter theme. We played with sticks and there was one shaped like a pickaxe and inside it was really soft so we hit the pickaxe on the rock and we pretended the little chips were gold to buy popsicles with.

One day, we took a trip to the Oregon Capitol...

On Friday, April 5th, the Fried Eagle went to to the Oregon Capitol to listen to hearing on gun control measures. It was a huge adventure! We listened while many many people told the Senators how they felt about gun control. We also told them how we felt -- through our T-shirts! We also wrote stuff down and left it with them.

The Capitol was huge! We got to run around the grounds and eat pizza for lunch. Yum.

Lots of people from the media were there. Some of them wanted to talk to us! Our T-shirts got on TV!

We got to interview a real state trooper. He showed us some of the stuff that he carries around. Taser, hand cuffs, walkie talkie, wow! He was a nice guys and he answered all of our questions.
