(( Roy's love of the game isn't the only reason for the tournament. In fact it is simply a vehicle for achieving a much more meaningful goal. Along with Hanging Rock and WDBJ, the Western Virginia High School Football Officials Association hope to make Roy's memory live on forever in the form of two partial scholarships.

A man in Oregon created a fence around his yard made of bicycles. But that's not all of his attractions... there's a parking meter, telephone booth, and even a telephone shaped birdhouse...And if you're visiting - there is a 'customer's parking only' sign just for you.
Actually, there are no customers coming around - just passersby who never seem to forget the landmark fence.
When a man found out Richard Horner lived in Corvalis he had asked Horner---
