Pixieland and especially Pixie Kitchen in Lincoln City were very special memories for several generations of Oregonians.

Every summer now Lincoln City Kiwanis has Pixiefest. If you are dedicated to the history and nostalgia of this amusement park like me; I highly recommend checking it out.

I went to Pixieland a few times back then. I was 9 years old when it opened.

Mom saved the Newspaper article wow so young . left in 81 then moved back 2012. Now I collect places I have never seen and plan trips to see those places new to me. Yes I took the Train.

All this for some species of fish that are dying off permanently. They go out to the middle of the ovean where they swim in a deadly nuclear soup that will eventually kill them all off.
