Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

Awesome reporting, Barry.
An all-around wonderful evening in the beaver pond. The judges were great. The beaver contestants went all out for a good cause.
Hats off to Katherine O and everyone for pulling off another quintessential Bull City event.
Hands down, the most talented beaver was the most Fabulous Fishscenta.
I love this town.
Peace, Love, Beaver,

Thanks again for inviting your readers to such a special event. I think my favorite performance was "Gnawin' on Heaven's Door". :)

I can't chew it anymore.
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm gnawin' on heaven's door."
