Oregon Country Fair Gears Up For Year 46

Wikimedia

The hippies arrived in the 1960s and never left. 

That's one way to look at the Oregon Country Fair, if a bit pejorative. 

But it is safe to say there's nothing else for miles around like the music/art/food festival. 

And it is coming back to the woods near Veneta for the 46th time, the weekend of July 10th. 

We discuss the history of what began as a renaissance fair, and what is offered this year.
