Another successful Heritage Fair
BY SAM WRIGHT
The Cottage Grove Sentinel
The Western Oregon Exposition
hosted its annual Heritage Fair at
the Fairgrounds in Cottage Grove
this weekend with a new addition.
The Wiener Dog Races hosted by
Habitat for Humanity were added
to the fair this year, instead of host-
ing them at Coiner Park as in previ-
ous years.
“It can get very hard to organize
something like this, so it was really
nice to fi t it in with the WOE fair,”
said Celia Gowing, director of the
races. Gowing says that when the
races were hosted at Coiner Park,
Habitat for Humanity would have
to bring in other things such as
food vendors to the site, but with
there already being so many attrac-
tions at the fair, it was really quite
easy to set up.
As the fair died down later in
the afternoon, the wiener dog races
were just getting started, and fair-
goers were concentrated at the long
tents to watch dachshunds dash to
the fi nish line.
Gowing considered the races
a success, as she counted over 60
people in attendance and a total
of 12 dogs that participated in the
races.
“I think it really fi t in with the
fair, there are a lot of fun little
things going around and this just
blended in as one of those things,”
Gowing said.
The fair had plenty more to offer
outside the realm of wiener dogs
and lumberjacks. Friday kicked off
the fair with the raising of the fl ag
and an opening ceremony. Then
came activities such as Grand Prix
Derby building and a birdhouse
building contest. Musical enter-
tainment took place from locals
and traveling bands such as Outlaw
Shine. Susan Dean McReynolds
hosted an information session on
food preservation as well as dem-
onstrations and educational ses-
sions on how to garden by Dorothy
Cruickshank.
Animals occupied the barn away
from the heat of the sun for the
livestock show, where poultry, rab-
bits and cavy were all presented in
contests.
At 6 p.m. on Friday, the Lumber-
jack show began and went into the
late hours of the night. Coordinator
Kevin Dunnavin said he was there
almost until midnight.
“Some people were here later.
There were a lot of events we had
to do and then we have to put ev-
erything away and get ready for the
next day,” Dunnavin said.
The heat was a huge factor at the
fair, as temperatures surpassed 100
degrees on Friday and remained in
the high 90s on Saturday. Popular
spots included the beer garden and
the bleachers of the Lumberjack
Show, which were both decently
shaded.
Because of the heat, the WOE
decided to add water balloon fi ghts
spontaneously to help everyone
cool off.
