Country Fair marks 17th year
The vivid hallucinations of
those living beyond the void of
their unpleasant realities might
seem dull and ordinary when
compared to the dream-like
world created by the 17th an
nual Oregon Country Fair last
weekend.
Twenty-foot tali reggae
dancers parading to the beat of a
marching band, wacky waiters
serving full-course meals out of
a top hat and laughing children
staring out of rainbow-colored
bubbles are just a few of the
wonders beheld at last
weekend's gathering of enter-,
tainers. food vendors and
craftspeople.
The event has grown substan
tially since it began in 1969 at
Hawkins Heights in Kugene as a
small, admission-free crafts fair.
organized by Connie Epstein to
raise funds for a children's
alternative school.
In 1971, the fair moved to its
present 242-acre location along
the U»ng Tom River one mile
west of Veneta. and since that
time it has expanded to include
more than :t(M) booths, constant
musical entertainment and the
largest gathering of New Wave
Vaudevillians in the country.
At a time when the nation's
economy is in turmoil, it might
seem odd that a gathering
sprung from the sixties era
would be able to survive and
continue bn so successfully.
Fair Board Member Marshall
I-andman says that the fair's
success is a reflection of the
culture of the sixties and seven
ties. It represents the people of
that era’s need for a place where
they could gather to express
themselves and represent the
flavor of that period.
“I think that we found our
connection hem because we as.a
culture needed a central place
to locate in our region to ex
change information and ideas,"
I-andmari says.
As an assurance toward a
future of bigger and better
gatherings, the fair's organiza
tion will own the Long Tom
River location after eight more

landman says that although
this will mean more regulations _
and rising costs for participants
and customer*, the possibility •
that the fair will continue on for
generations to come should
make these- .inconveniences '•

Repair work atthe site is one
of the reasons for rising costs,

he adds.. «
Crista Schneider, go-,
originator of the Blintz Booth,
says that the added costs are
reasonable when. compared to'
the rising inflation our country
has experienced since 'she
began'participating in the fair in
t«7B. '
She also agrees with land
man's belief that . the fair's
future is what It mo#
important
"My children grew ,up with
this fair,". Schneider says.
"There is a strong sense of fami
ly unity among the people at the
booths, and I fftel it is a great ex
perience for kids to see such a
strong example of what people
can accomplish by working
together so harmoniously. It
would be sad to see something
as rare as this lost forever."
