They are both tremendous feats to accomplish. On Saturday, May 22, everyone is invited to Pioneer Courthouse Square to see the world's largest ashtray.
Smokers can take steps to accomplish the tremendous feat of kicking the tobacco habit.
Pioneer Courthouse Square, in downtown Portland, will be transformed into the largest outdoor smoke-free area in the city to celebrate World No Tobacco Day. Smokers will have the opportunity to put out their last cigarette in the world's largest ashtray, which will be displayed prominently in the square. The ashtray has a peak of six feet and is about 10-feet in diameter. Multnomah County Chair, Beverly Stein, will read a World No Tobacco Day Proclamation to kick-off the festivities. All ages will love the sounds of The Sparks, a musically versatile local band who will play throughout the event.
