Last week, Lindsay Costello took us through the World Forestry Center's pop-up exhibition, What the Log Saw: Honoring the Legacy of Catherine “The Log Lady” Coulson. Into early June, the center will display a selection of rare memorabilia in honor of actress Catherine Coulson and her iconic character, the Log Lady, on David Lynch's Twin Peaks.
May 17 was Log Lady Day at the center, and several character look-alikes gathered to compete for first place in an audience-judged competition. Unsurprisingly, everyone brought their own log.
