T he first floor of the historic log cabin behind the President’s Hall at the Fairgrounds is now graffiti-free owing to the work of the Log Cabin Project Committee.

One down, one to go. Upstairs a torn heart is imprinted in one room with white paint. And most of the rest of the wall space is covered in illegible writings in different colors.

But the committee, a Pacific Northwest Photographic Society sub-set, has made a lot of progress on the restoration project since the cabin settled onto its last home-ground two years ago in October.

Since then 90 percent of the refurbishment work on the exterior of the now 70-year-old structure has been completed. A heritage garden has sprouted next to the cabin enclosed by a split rail fence — all adding to the attraction
