Slugs Rule at the Eugene Festival of Trees

Come to the 2009 Eugene Festival of Trees to see or even bid on the award winning Slug Queen Tree. The Slug Queen Tree was awarded ‘Most Creative’ and ‘Most Original’ in the 7ft tree category and is entered in the silent auction to add whimsy and sparkle to the home of the highest bidder. The tree is decorated with hand sewn stuffed slugs and golden crowns, handblown glass Slug Queen ornaments from Imagine Gallery glassworks, and ornament individually created by many of the old queens themselves. Wrapped in hot pink feather boas and irridicent ’slime’accented, and with glittery stage cat glasses, the tree is topped with a large golden soft crown and pink star. Of course we added some pepperment bark, chocolate truffles and snowman cookies in the gift boxes under the tree as our ‘bribe’ to the judges and bidders! Come check out our first entry ever.

Welcome to www.slugqueen.com the most comprehensive website and world wide source of all things Slug Queen

Congratulations to the latest member of The Society for he Legitimization of the Ubiquitous Gastropod—the Talented and Tall Queen Anislugsia!

Queen Anislugsia’s next big public appearance will be hosting Lane Arts Councils First Friday Art Walk October 2009. See the Lane Arts Council website for details.

The Register Guard’s piece on the 2009 Slug Queen Competition and Coronation covers the highlights beautifully, but they do say that Queen Anislugsia has big shoes to fill to keep up with (now) Old Queen Marie Slugtoinette. Did they get a good look at those size 13, slime green, pointed toe pumps? She was the envy of every old queen at the first sight of those very full shoes.

More to come on the lullaby sing off between Old Queen Slugtoinette and the Keifer Kia Princess to benefit the Relief Nursery! Who would you want to sing your kids to sleep? the Slug or the Princess?Do I hear a children’s book in the works?

What is a SLUG Queen? How does a mere mortal become one? When and where do SLUG Queens get coronated?
