Mayor declares “Clay is the new gold” at River Junction Arena

Illustration (editorial, satirical) of Mayor Lorna K. Tines at a podium in River Junction Arena, delivering a serious wartime-style speech beside an oversized commemorative golden fork on a plinth and a silver tray of tiny plastic blue dice labeled “PLUM-ADJACENT.” The crowd is seated in bleachers, some holding paper plates, some mid-chew, all deadpan. Include arena signage reading “RIVER JUNCTION ARENA” and a banner: “CLAY FARMING: MOST PROFITABLE BUSINESS.” Lighting bright, civic-event feel; color palette muted industrial with pops of blue dice and gold fork.
