Before you waste any time showering and getting your life back in order, though, don’t forget The Lane County Fair is set the begin Wednesday. Deep fried sugar, rigged carnival games, braying livestock, washed-up rock bands and bone-rat- tling carnival rides of dubious integrity: The Lane County Fair is simultaneously the best of times and the worst of times. Life’s pressing responsibilities can wait another week, we hope.
