Cottage Grove's busiest month offers a
schedule packed with nonstop action
BY JON STINNETT
The Cottage Grove Sentinel
L
ess rain than normal in the winter months and recent
scorching temperatures have already made it feel like sum-
mer for quite a while in Cottage Grove, but those familiar with
south Lane County’s calendar know that summer just isn’t the
same without many of the area’s signature July events. Here’s a
roundup of some of the action that can be expected this month,
from decades-old classics to brand-new offerings:
At right: A full slate of activities is planned for this
year's Cottage Grove Rodeo, which takes place Friday,
July 10 and Saturday, July 11.

New this year
Bohemia Mining Days
Arguably the biggest weekend in the Cot-
tage Grove calendar, July 16-19 brings the
56th annual Bohemia Mining Days celebra-
tion, and a full outline of what to expect for
this week’s festival, themed “By Wing, By
Wheel, By Engine of Steel” can be found
in the Bohemia Nugget, which will appear
along with the Sentinel’s July 15 edition.
For now, lots of information on BMD can be
found at the festival website, bohemiamin-
ingdays.org, or by phone at 541-942-5064.
Cottage Grove Rodeo
A full slate of activities are on tap for the
Cottage Grove Rodeo, scheduled this Fri-
day, July 10 and Saturday, July 11 at the ro-
deo grounds on Highway 99 south of town.
Kids events begin at 5:30 p.m. with the
grand entry set for 7 p.m. and a dance im-
mediately following rodeo action. Featured
events include a cow hide race, a dine and
dash with proceeds benefi ting local families
and the ever-popular Mutton Bustin’, calf
riding, steer riding and junior bulls and bar-
rels events for the young folk. More infor-
mation on the Rodeo is available on Face-
book or by calling 541-767-2472.
‘Tri’ it twice
July is triathlon season in Cottage Grove,
with the Warren H. Daugherty Aquatic
Center’s fi fth-annual Elementary Triath-
lon scheduled this Saturday, July 11 from
8:30-10:30 a.m. at the pool. Events include
a swim in the pool, bike around the parking
lot and up to a half-mile run for participants
up to fi fth-grade level. Those interested can
contact the pool at 541-942-5533 for more
information, and parents must sign a waiver
for their child to participate.
Saturday, July 25 may be the busiest sin-
gle day of the calendar year, with the annual
Tri at the Grove triathlon beginning with the
fi rst wave of sprint course participants at 8
a.m. at Cottage Grove Lake. Blair Bronson
of Best in the West Events, which purchased
the Tri from dark:30 Sports following the
2014 Tri, said registration numbers are
“looking good” for this year’s event.
Again this year, the Tri at the Grove will
take place on the same day as the Down-
town Chili Cook-off and Rock, Roll and
Rumble car show, which starts at Cottage
Grove High School, continues with a show-
and-shine downtown from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and
a dance from 8:30-11:30 p.m. at the corner
of Seventh and Main Streets.
Concerts and Markets
Cooler temperatures should bode well for
Cottage Grove’s Concerts in the Park series,
which continues this Wednesday (July 8)
beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the “folk-fueled
‘fungrass’” of Gumbo Groove. Additional
July dates are as follows:
July 15 — Fret Boys, classic rock
July 22 — Ian McFerron, Bob Dylan
type “folky pop”
July 29 — Flies with Honey, local origi-
nal rock
In addition to the concerts, Coast Fork
Farm Stand is currently playing host to
a farmers market that takes place each
Wednesday from 3-6 p.m., and the Cottage
Grove Public Market across the street fea-
tures a fl ea market and fresh food offerings
from 4-8 p.m. on concert days. The Cottage
Grove Chamber of Commerce is also still
seeking vendors to offer their wares in Bo-
hemia Park during the concerts, and those
interested are asked to contact Chamber Di-
rector Travis Palmer at 541-942-2411.
