The Oregon Forest Fair
is returning this month to
Chemeketa Community Col-
lege.
The event, taking place from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 20, was
held at Chemeketa 10 years.
It’s been held every year since,
but this is the fi rst time back at
Chemeketa.
The expo and educational
event is free and open to the
public. There will be dozens
of exhibits representing a wide
range of forest products and
services, including four educa-
tional panel presentations.
The event is put on by the
Oregon Small Woodlands As-
sociation. For more informa-
tion, visit www.oswa.org or call
Gene and Lynnette Henshaw at
503-623-5759.
When the event was last at
CCC, Gene Henshaw noted
about 750 people attended. He
expects between that many and
1,000 people this year.
