Take your pick Oregon Country Fain skilled masseurs, face-painters, peasant skirts and smoothies. The weekend ottered distractions around the county that spanned the cultural spectrum At the Lane County Fairgrounds in Eugene, bronc busters and steer wrestlers were hard at work performing before an enthusiastic rodeo audience In Veneta, about 13 miles west of the rodeo, thousands gathered in an over-sized pasture to sell, buy, gawk and mellow-out at the Oregon Country Fair The contrast in style, personality and entertainment was the difference between night and day At the fairgrounds, rodeo fans applauded the talents of horseback riders and professional cowboys who competed in the Emerald Empire Round-Up At the Fair, skilled masseurs, face-painters and hair-braiders drew the crowds Cowboy boots silver and turquoise buckles and tight Levis were appropriate attire at the Round-Up A quick visual survey of the Country Fair revealed the fashion of the day to be as little as possible Bare brown skin accented worn peasant skirts faded jeans and macrame bikini tops While rodeo fans chewed barbecued chicken and washed it down with soft drinks and beer, fair-goers chose between tempura brown rice and fruit smoothies For the non-vegetarians, chicken was available as well Booths hawking everything from geothermal energy information to nudist colony memberships lined the Fair's walkways Cowboy hats were the hottest item for sale at the rodeo with Western art and lewelry running a close second In the end, cowboys roped cows, rode horses and did what cowboys enjoy doing Hippies played music, gave massages and had their own brand of fun — and a splendid time was had by all Rodeo photos by Bill Wack Fair photos by Erich Boekelheide Emerald Empire rodeo: bronc busters, steer wrestlers, cowboy hats and beer.
