Rent Claudia Chinook!

Claudia Chinook is Available Now for rental!!!

Claudia has gone through major renovation and she is as good as new.

A little about Claudia: Claudia Chinook was built over the course of four months in 2003 by the Rickreall Watershed Council and given to Polk SWCD in 2010 to help teach the community about healthy fish and watersheds. She started as a wire frame and was sprayed with foam, covered with fiberglass, and then painted. Inside of Claudia shows a mural depicting the life-cycle of salmon.  Claudia is a big, beautiful Chinook, standing a whopping 14 feet high and 29 feet long. Ever since her debut at ‘Celebrate the Creek’ day in Dallas City Park, everyone has wanted to get their hands on her - here is your chance.  The area inside is big enough to hold 4-6 adults.
