"I would start with breakfast at Sassafras Sue's, followed by a stroll to the port to look at the boat house and the wooden boats they build there. Be sure to take a look at the new pavilion with its osprey wind vane created by local metal artist Sam Briseno. Then a stop at the History Center to learn about Toledo's history of logging and boat building. Strolling up Main Street, you can stop at the art galleries: SolaLuna, Toledo Clayworks and [Gallery] Briseno. Pick up a brochure and visit the home/galleries of Michael Gibbons, Ivan Kelly, Becky Miller Carol Loomis, Berta Sergeant and many more. Take time to walk the art bench trail and see the beautiful sculptural benches throughout town. Stop at Port Station One and see the public art sculptures sponsored by the Port of Toledo. Check out the [large] outdoor mosaic ... next to City Hall — and check out the architecture of City Hall: one of the finest examples of art deco single pour concrete building in the Pacific Northwest. And finish the day at Pig Feathers/Twisted Snout for the best BBQ and microbrew on the coast. That's a GREAT day!" -- Michelle Amberg, city manager, Toledo, Ore.
