6A • COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • AUGUST 22, 2018 Western Oregon Expo Heritage Fair draws record crowd Senior Queen Chelsie Mundy reacts after hearing the an- nouncement as queen during the WEO Heritage Fair; fairgo- ers plant flowers in the expanded kids area. By Cindy Weeldreyer For The Sentinel The stars aligned for the 86th annual Western Oregon Exposition’s Heritage Fair and produced the largest at- tendance in nearly a decade. Families flocked to the fairgrounds to take advan- tage of the free admission for children 12-years-old and younger and to enjoy the expanded offerings for kids. The weather was perfect, unlike the triple digit heat of two summers ago or the thick smoke from last sum- mer’s nearby forest fire. WOE Board Member Dena Twite was delighted to see so many locals and out- of-towners visit the fair last weekend. “It’s really exciting that our attendance is the largest it has been in a decade,” Twite said. “Our attendance on Friday was surprisingly high and, after a year of planning and hard work, we are all de- lighted with that.” WOE Board President Ken Schwieger, an eight-year fair board veteran, is serving for the first time as board pres- ident. He said the success of the fair is due to the year- round commitment of board members, volunteers, partner organizations and sponsors who work well together with a strong spirit of camaraderie. Schwieger said, thanks to the efforts of Sabina Johnson and Athena Intros, the WOE Royalty Court tradition was revived this year with great success. “My personal goal in my first year as president was to build up community involve- ment by increasing activities for kids,” Schwieger said. “It was fun to work with mem- bers of the Boy Scouts and Royalty Court, who were our Grange Café servers. I watched all the Crowning Ceremony rehearsals and I’m amazed at their enthusiasm. They bring new life to the WOE experience.” Johnson and Intros re- quired members of the Royal- ty Court to complete 20-hours of volunteer service. Both Senior Queen Chelsie Mun- dy and Junior Queen Hailie Intros had more than 60 vol- unteer hours invested when they were crowned in Friday’s ceremony. They described Saturday night’s Royal Ball in the Woodard Pavilion as pure joy for the nine girls and their families who participated. The London Grange spon- OUT WITH CABLE.

Schwieger said kids were hav- ing so much fun it was a chal- lenge for parents to persuade their kids to leave. He added the new baby changing area was both appreciated and well-used. Log House Plants returned for the 4th year to offer “make and take” planters on Friday and Saturday. Greg Lee, of Log House Plants, said kids and adults made 150 planters. The activity was free for chil- dren and for a donation from adults. Lee said the money raised from the adults’ plant- ers was donated to the 4-H Club. Other fair offerings for chil- dren included: the Bohemia Mining Days’ Alice in Won- derland-theme Kids Zone, gold panning with members of the Bohemia Mine Own- ers Association, the Swing- ing Bridge’s rope bridge and Cottage Grove Bible Church’s Grand Prix car races. For a dozen years, a part- nership between WOE and the Cottage Grove Bible Church provides the popular Grand Prix Car Races. Kathy Harris was among 25 church volunteers who helped the approximately 70 children, between the ages of 4 to 14, build a small wooden car on Friday and Saturday so they could participate in the rac- ing action on Sunday after- noon. No country fair is com- plete without prize-winning animals, quilts, flowers, fresh baked and canned food and vendors.
