Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in McMinnville, OR  9/21/11

Congrats to John McCarthy for correctly guessing last weeks post Habitat for Humanity ReStore, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Newberg, OR 9/14/11.  Not only did he answer it correctly, I now know what a quonset hut is!

Each week I'll be posting a new picture on Wednesday morning. The title of the blog will have the City where the picture is taken and I'll post the answer Wednesday evening...not only here on my blog, but on facebook business page (please click like and add yourself there) as well as tweetin it on my Twitter page.

Do you know where it is? Care to guess? Comments are welcome! I'll post the answer tonight.

 Hint: What does a flying goose, water, and a theatre have in common?

It's the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and Water Park, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in McMinnville OR. 9/21/11

Where else can you check out the Howard Huges famous Spruce Goose and other cool aeronautics, feel what it's like to fly in the cockpit of several planes while being in the I-Max theatre..yeah..it's 3D and you FEEL right there, or slip on your bathing suit and slide down all ten of the water slides in an indoor waterpark...but the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and Water Park in McMinnville Oregon.

Dubbed the largest aircraft ever built, the Spruce Goose made it's one and only flight in 1947 with Howard Huges at the controls. With a wing span larger than a football field, this "flying boat" was HUGE!  Now located at the Evergreen Aviation & Space museum in McMinnville, OR, one can see this baby up close and personal.

Need a place to take the family for the day? This is it!

Get ready to learn through experience, inspiration and education at the nations only educational waterpark!

Grand opening in June 2011, the brand new Wings & Waves Waterpark is debuted on Monday, June 6. This new attraction is next to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, one of the greatest collections of aircraft and space artifacts in the world. It’s been said that both the Waterpark and the Museum distinguish McMinnville as a premier location for learning about the power of science — and at Evergreen Wings & Waves Waterpark, children and adults will learn why “life needs water.”

The waterpark will offer 10 waterslides, a wave pool and a children’s museum dedicated to teaching students about the power of water. The facility features nearly 70,000-square-feet of educational fun, highlighted by a massive Evergreen International Aviation Boeing 747 that rests on the top of the building. Throughout the structure, waterpark visitors will learn about the power of water and its effects on society through dozens of interactive exhibits and learning tools. Plus, there is a toddler area, play structure, leisure pool and spa, café and rooms that can be rented for birthday parties.

Real UFO photo taken in McMinnville Oregon in 1950

These two photographs (above & below) were taken by a farmer in McMinnville Oregon in 1950. Photo annalist’s have studied these photographs with all their technology to discover the photographs are authentic and REAL photographs of a UFO that flew over McMinnville OR in 1950.

There are hundreds of thousands of photographs, video footage and documented cases of UFOs and Alien abduction from all over the WORLD. Countries like Germany, France, UK, Australia, Japan, Mexico and more have been uncovering and exposing some of their information on the UFO phenomenon. “So WHY" does the United States continue to cover-up their documented cases through (Blue Book), etc.?

By the years 2012 and 2013 the United States Government is going to expose many of their cases and cover-ups of UFOs and Alien abductions. So for all the unbelievers you are going to have a rude awaking when the United States Government exposes their findings.

Maybe you should have listened to Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz and other sources of information and decided for yourselves instead of being so closed minded like so many others … ;o)

And where did Vegas Bob find out this information about the United States Government exposing their cover-ups? “Lets just say a little birdie told him” and leave it at that!

(Please Note): These 2 photographs were not taken by Robert Swetz
