Congratulations to Eugene’s newest ‘raining’ gastropod, Queen Holly GoSlugly!

Although this was not Queen GoSlugly’s first attempt at reaching for the crown, this year she succeeded through creative bribery, multiple spectacular costume changes, and her quick Hepburn-esque wit. Queen GoSlugly plans to make art and culture the focus of her ‘rain’ and has a brilliant head start having created the ‘SLUG Queen’s reading list’ at the UO Bookstore and a POP up SLUG art show to be announced soon. Read all about Queen GoSlugly’s coronation and public works in the Eugene Weekly article about Holly GoSlugly, August 2011.

We also congratulate newly minted ‘Old’ Queen Slugasana who worked tirelessly to bring attention to the Slow food movement and the School Garden Project. We will continue to see her in the slimelight as SLUG Queens, like presidents, are NEVER ‘former’ or ‘Ex’– but rather live on as queen for life, gaining new titles along the way. of course that means congratulations are in order to Queen Darcy, who after 10 years was just awarded the title of ‘Very Old’ Queen, and to the scattered but charming Queen Marigold, crowned ‘Exquisitely Old’ Queen after 20 years of Queenly service. Well done.

If you missed the annual competition and coronation of the SLUG Queen, you can get your first glimpse of the queen at this year’s Eugene Celebration Parade where the SLUG Queens vamp around the newly crowned Royal Gastropod. This year the parade starts at 10 a.m. Saturday August 27th and winds around downtown Eugene. See the Eugene Celebration website for details.
