Have your say in selecting next dino installation



    
    The Dino Arts Committee is heading into the new year with new ideas and is asking residents for their vision of the next dinosaur to take up residence in the valley.
    The committee has made an incredible impact on the valley acting as guardians of the dozens of dinosaur statues that add a unique flavor to the valley.
    They have also been the driving force to bring new statues including the motorcycling dinosaur on Railway Avenue and before that the dinosaur bench at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Centre Street.    
    The committee is planning a new installation and is asking residents for their input. They have selected three designs for their next installation and have posed an online survey for residents to select which design they prefer.
    “The survey will be left open for the next 3 weeks after which time we will pick the winner with the most votes,” said John Shoff of the Dino Art Committee
