Put away your camping gear and Fair clothes, or lack thereof, until next year. But, don’t fret. There’s another fair coming up hot on OCF’s tail. Get ready to get stuffed on elephant ears, check out some cute animals and ride the Ferris wheel at the Lane County Fair this week. The Lane County Fair doesn’t change too much from year to year, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This year, like in years past, you’ll still get the chance to ride the Zipper, check out a ton of local vendors and eat every fried food option available. What is new this year is the musical lineup; headlining acts include Bret Michaels, the Eli Young Band, Survivor & Loverboy, En Vogue and LeAnn Rimes. All of those are free to see, plus the price of admission, unless you want to sit near the stage — seats cost $30-$45. If you’re looking to get in on the fun and save some money, check out Lane County Fair’s website for discount admission and ticket days all throughout the week (at atthefair.com). These discount days include “Grange Day” on Wednesday, July 19, where kids 10 and under get in for free if they bring a “dressed up fruit or veggie” and “Fair Family Day” on Thurs- day, July 20, where seniors (65+) and military personnel (with valid military ID) get in for $2. The Lane County Fair runs 11 am-11 pm Wednesday, July 19, to Sat- urday, July 22, and 11 am-8 pm Sunday, July 23. Tickets range from $6-$9 per day. Children 5 and under are FREE. — Meerah Powell 16 July 13, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com S U N R I S E 5 : 41 A M ; S U N S E T 8 : 5 3 P M A V G . H I G H 81 ; A V G .
