WHAT IS THE BEAVER QUEEN PAGEANT?
The Beaver Queen Pageant is Durham’s own special mix of folly, pageantry, and
humor. Contestants take on beaver personalities: Fur Pelton John, the Beave
Whisperer, and Furrabella-Conchita Carramba. As with every Beauty Queen
Pageant, the contestants introduce themselves in their wetlands ready wear,
showcase their unique talent, and participate in an interview in their finest
evening wear. Beav Aldrin, the 2014 Queen, performed an aerial routine on
silks. Furrah Gnawsett-Major, the 2012 Queen, played the Star Wars theme on the
clarinet while hula hooping.
[13]The Beaver Lodge 1504 organized a formal pageant in April 2005 to celebrate
a successful community effort by the Duke Park neighborhood to stop the NC
Department of Transportation from eradicating a den of beavers that had taken
up residence in wetlands north of I-85. Now, the Beaver Queen Pageant serves as
a fundraiser for the [14]Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association (ECWA).
WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS?
The 2024 Beaver Queen Pageant is Saturday, June 1st from 4-7 PM in [15]Duke
Park Meadow across from the dog park. We'll start at 4 PM with Pre-pageant
Activities (think fairy tails, etc, PARADE (4:45pm), and more!) The pageant
will begin at 5 PM. There will be activities for the kits, food trucks, a
lemonade stand, and a Locopops cart.
HOW DO I GET THERE?
The pageant is located in the meadow of Duke Park near the intersection of
Englewood Ave and Acadia Street. Please consider walking, biking, bussing, or
carpooling to the pageant this year!
GoDurham Route 4 will can drop you off at the back of Duke Park (instersection
of Roxborro and Knox). There is limited parking available at Duke Park along
Acadia Street. Parking is also available along the neighborhood streets, we ask
that you please be respectful to our Duke Park neighbors!
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
1. [16]Vote early and often for your favorite contestants ($5/vote).
2. Help spread the word about this year's pageant and your favorite contestants
through social media, email, word of mouth, and tag the [17]Beaver Queen
Pageant on Instagram. Make sure to follow ECWA on [18]Facebook and [19]
Instagram, and the Beaver Lodge Local 1504 on [20]Facebook.
3. Show up on Saturday, June 1st at the Duke Park Meadow. Walk, ride your bike,
or carpool if you can! Wear a costume (with a tail!) if you want! Bring cash or
a credit card to buy merch (shirts, totes, pins, car magnets, and more!) and
votes ($5/vote).
IS THE BEAVER QUEEN PAGEANT REALLY FAMILY-FRIENDLY?
Yes, the pageant is a hit with kids of all ages due to the outrageous costumes
and fun performances. While there will be plenty of puns and double entendre
about the multiple meanings of “beaver”, it is usually far too subtle for most
young fans.
HOW IS IT A FUNDRAISER?
Our fabulous [21]business sponsors make generous contributions. Please support
them leading up to pageant!
You can make a financial contribution to support ECWA by [22]voting for your
favorite beaver character. Though the judges, also known as the Board of
Corruption, keep their selection methods secret, votes do matter when the
judges select the Queen. Every vote costs $5. You can vote online anytime
between now and the day of the event!
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE BEAVER QUEEN PAGEANT?
This year is the Beaver Queen Pageant’s 20^th year. The event is uniquely
Durham: a mash-up of community, creativity, playfulness, and advocacy for a
cause.
The first event was held in April of 2005 in celebration of a successful
community effort by the Duke Park neighborhood to stop the NC Department of
Transportation from eradicating a den of beavers that had taken up residence in
wetlands north of I-85. Beverly Woody was crowned the first Beaver Queen
following an amazing clog dancing routine.
The following year 6 people wanted to compete for the crown of Beaver Queen and
The Beaver Lodge Local 1504 organized a formal pageant for the multitudes.
Celebrity judges and bribes became the norm. Since the beginning well over 50
people of many genders, races, and orientations have competed for the coveted
Beaver Queen crown and a uniquely Durham tradition has grown. The Pageant
typically raises about $25,000 for ECWA.
We’ve even had our first interspecies Queen: Miz Polly Nator was crowned the
2015 Beaver Queen and helped make Durham a Bee City. This national designation
raises awareness about the many contributions of bees and other pollinators to
the environment and food system.
You can watch previous year's Beaver Queen Pageants on the [23]Beaver Lodge
Youtube Channel.

Another month, another update!
Blogposts this month:
• [13]All my Deno modules are now available on JSR
• [14]Playdate review (just like I promised in [15]February)
• [16]Kaizen #2
🍀 Life
I visited to my hometown for a family confirmation, and I traveled alone
because my SO was going to a wedding elsewhere. It was my first time driving
alone for 3 hours with our daughter, and it was my SO's first time being away
from our daughter for more than a workday. It was fine, we all survived!
We celebrated our daughter's first National Day on the 17th of May with family
and a trip to a school. I wonder how next year is going to be when she's in
kindergarten.
And to talk about something super interesting: The weather this past month has
been superb! We have gone on long walks every day (almost). Somedays was so
warm that we couldn't be outside for too long because of the heat ☀️
💪 Health
No race this month, and I have still managed to run an average of 15 km per
week this month. It's been a blast (and warm)!
I have also got a lot of use of the baby-carrier we bought last month, it's
really fun to hear our daughter "talking" and laughing when we see animals,
cars, plants etc. Great purchase!
🧑‍💻 Development
Other than doing some [17]migrations of my Deno modules, I have been working
slow and steady on my logging tool. It's getting there, hopefully it will be
ready this summer. I'm not sure how "general" I should make it, if it's
interesting for anyone other than me. But we'll see, it might be easier to see
that once I write a standalone blogpost about it.
Like I mentioned in the intro, there is a new edition of [18]Kaizen out: [19]
Kaizen #2
🎬 Entertainment
This month we mananged to watch a bunch of movies, shows and I even managed to
play some video games.
Games
This month, after my co-worker still went on and on about how good Hades was, I
caved and got it on Steam. And I have been enjoying it very much on the Steam
Deck. Haven't beaten the last boss, yet, but it's fun! And I get nostaglic
about remembering all the Gods from Greek Mythology from my memory of the
animated Hercules movie.
I also posted my [20]Playdate review where I go in-depth on the whole thing.
Movies
• Late Night with the Devil (2023) – Really cool, and different horror movie.
It was more like a thriller to me, but enjoyed it!
• Dream Scenario (2023) – This was so weird and thought-provoking that it was
really funny and scary at the same time. Bonus, Norwegian director and
writer
• Secrets of the Neanderthals (2024) – Boring Netflix documentary.
• Turbo Kid (2015) – Gave it a watch just because of the soundtrack and I do
not regret it, recommended!
• Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) – I didn't miss Andy Serkis that
much, and it was fun to see where all the apes were 300 years after the
last movie.
• The Fall Guy (2024) – I had high hopes for this one after Bullet Train, it
was bland. The fight-scenes were cool, but there weren't enough of it to
make it a good movie.
• The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) – A cool war-movie about real
events, recommended!
TV shows
• Baby Reindeer S1 – Everyone was talking about it, and we also started to
talk about it. Eerie and amazing at the same time.
• X-Men '97 S1 – Wow. They made a heartfelt cartoon, I mean, revived cartoon
about mutants and a dab of time-travel. It was awesome!
• Hvite gutter S7 – Norwegian show about some rich/spolied white dudes that
only parties, it has its moments.
🌐 Links
• [21]sdushantha/tmpmail – This worked on my first try. I'm very impressed on
how simple this is and how it just works!
• [22]Don't Microservice, Do Module – I didn't need any convincing, but the
author goes into depth on why you should use modules instead of
microservices.
• [23]Must know key bindings for developers on Mac OSX – Shortcuts I didn't
know about, awesome!
• [24]tmux is worse is better – tmux is bad, but it's actually better for a
lot of stuff.
• [25]Developers aren't Nerds – Not every developer is as into it as you
might think.
• [26]Our Blogging Workflow – Cool concept with writing a post about your
current blogging workflow.
• [27]Thinking Big and Small – You have to start somewhere, you cannot change
the world overnight.
• [28]Get Yourself a /dev/lunch – Grab lunch with someone for a different
company, use it as a place to talk about stuff, rant even.
• [29]Behind the Scenes of Building the Three Word Stories App – The Three
Word Stories app was built quickly, in about 48 hours, as part of the
Viget's annual hackathon tradition. David Eisinger emailed me and let me
know that a blogpost where I mentioned PocketBase gave his team inspiration
to make this game – that's awesome!
• [30]Three Word Stories – Cool little game made with Svelte and PocketBase.
• [31]Ignite Rails: Matt Parker - README Driven Development – A way to
motivate people to write the README, with some awesome stats!
• [32]A brief history of web development. And why your framework doesn't
matter. – Quick overview of the history of the web and why you shouldn't
stress about choosing technology because someone tells you to. Chose what
works for you.
• [33]Use Your Potions and Scrolls – I can really relate to this. I always
hoard potions and scrolls, and other nicnaks to never use them. I will try
to not to "spare" them as much as I do, both in-game and IRL.
• [34]I'm a programmer and I'm stupid – Stupid is the new smart, you should
try it ;)
• [35]DuckDB as the New jq – DuckDB really knows JSON, who would've thought?
