Fall and winter is just around the corner and it should be a cold one this year. I expect to see our Columbia winter jackets and our Sorel winter boots will be really popular. Plus we added Woolrich and Pendleton to our classic offerings as well as Filson. Lowa and White's boots are always popular as well. Stay warm and dry this winter at Baker's. Look for our blog specials on our Twitter page at www.twitter.com/bakershoe or email us for our weekly specials.
The Denver stock show is wrapping up this week. And with the snow coming down its a good thing. Trevor found some difficult driving just back and forth from the show. Plus its going to be a difficult drive back because Eugene is swamped with rain and snow in the mountains. Glad we bought studded tires. Pinky is holding his own in Denver and sold quite a few boots.
We look forward to the local showe here in Eugene so we dont have to travel. See us at the Eugene Sportsmans show Feb. 3-5th and the Oregon Loggin show Feb. 23- 25th. Gene at Baker’s Boots.

Klamath Falls, Oregon based Drew’s boots was sold to Baker’s effective Oct. 1st. Drew’s owners decided to retire and sold the business to Baker’s. Drew’s is long time White’s dealer and has its own line of boots under the Drew’s label. Known for fire boots and western boots plus Pendleton woolen mills products… Drew’s was a natural fit for Baker’s line of boots. And yes the Drew’s website will be remodeled in the next few months. We welcome aboard the Drew’s crew and their move into the Baker family home in Eugene. Drew’s will maintain its own site and identity as it has for the 98 years of existence. visit. www.drewsboots.com or www.bakershoe.com
After a brief rain over the weekend.. the sun came out again on Monday. And then its predicted to hit the 80’s again this week. With a solid 3 weeks of 90 degree heat the forests in Oregon are pretty dried out. The problem is in Sisters. Oregon home to all pro quarterback Dan Fouts homes were in jeapardy of burning up. Thats a pretty scary thought because with a little wind going those homes will be all but gone. So hopefully our wildland firefighters can continue to hold the fire down until it burns out and our native Oregonians to the east can breathe a little easier. Gene at Baker’s Boots.
It could be one of the hottest weeks of the year this week in Oregon. The forest’s are getting a lot crispier and todays news is 90 wild fires in Oregon. You can bet those young men and women battling those blazes will have their work cut out for them. We had a crew of 10 heading to Redmond today to pick up some fire boots. Stay safe.

The Animal Planet channel has featured Ike’s Pizza on the McKenzie river near Leaburg Dam as the notoriously elusive Bigfoot has been spotted recently in the area. Now before you roar with laughter at the thought some provacative film has come forward on the McKenzie of two fishermen spotting a Bigfoot and its on video. Much like the Patterson film it hasnt been proven a hoax. Ike’s features their bi-monthly Bigfoot and a beer nights at the popular pizza stop along the Mckenzie river. You can drop in and have a few brews and share your Bigfoot story. A hoax or is it for real. You be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKcrt3J_VgM&NR=1

Oregon pre season all American Cliff Harris was caught going over 100 miles an hour on I-5 in a rented car. With LSU the first Oregon Duck game looming it was a stupid move on Cliff’s part. Hopefully he can work it out with Coach Kelly and stay on the team. But what makes these guys think they can do something like that and not hurt the team.? Dumb move and with Missoli leaving the Rose Bowl team for some bad decisions you would think Harris and company would learn. LSU will be a tough home opener at Cowboys stadium so keep your fingers crossed the rest of the Duck squad can fly straight and the team can get past this situation.
