SPRINGFIELD — Spring
field's annual Filbert Festival,
which took place Sept 4-6 at the
scenic Island Park on the
Willamette River, is the equiva
lent of The Oregon Country Fair
or Lane County Fair.
This year's thome was "Hap
py Trails," as in the Roy Rogers
song, tying it in with the 150th
anniversary celebration of the
Oregon Trail. The weather was
generally nice, and this year the
festival had the best turnout in
its four-year history, although
attendance did not meet expec
tations.
In addition to the usual festi
val fare of food booths, arts and
crafts stalls, musical entertain
ment and community booths,
there was everything from road
races and a Fireworks display to
an old-fashioned country store
and baton twirling.
As part of this year's theme,
the community event had a
mountain men encampment, in
which things such as muzzle
loading and trapping were
demonstrated, a Native Ameri
can Village, and Hoe-down Hol
low dance exhibitions.
Springfield’s heritage was on
display through the park. There
was a rro laircuii i muwi oiiuw
going on in part of the park. One
could see ax-throwing and saw
ing competitions, as well as log
rolling on the river
Most of the live music was
country. National headliners
Randy Stonehill, William Lee
Golden and Buckwheat Zydeco
were among the entertainers.
New to this year's affair were
two dance stages, one in front of
the main stage, the other off in
another part of the park where
a dee jay played crowd favorites.
Many people dressed up in
western regalia followed coun
try dance steps to the music.
The Labor Day festival is
named after the filbert nut
because of the success the filbert
has had growing in the area.
There were free bus tours to
Dorris Ranch in Springfield,
where the nation's first commer
cial filbert orchards and historic
buildings are located. It is a
place one would not know was
there unless you were looking
lor it. The filbert nut was avail
able for sample.
All in all, the people of
Springfield and elsewhere were
given the opportunity to get out
and strut their stuff and show
their pride in their community,
and they did.
