Peace, Love and Cotton Candy.... Three days in July make for one compelling reason to visit Veneta, Oregon.
Every year the Oregon Country Fair transforms this small community outside of Eugene from its usual population of about 4,500 into a hive of nearly 45,000 festival-goers.
The vibes are notoriously groovy, and despite its popularity, the fair strives to be family and environmentally friendly. We meet the fair's new general manager, Tom Gannon, and ask what's lined up for this year's celebration.
