Going Up The Country (Fair)

Wikimedia

What a difference a single letter can make.  Take "R" for example. 

Oregon is loaded with county fairs, but add the R in there, and there's only one Oregon COUNTRY Fair.

And it is coming back to the woods near Veneta for the 45th time, the weekend of July 11th. 

We'll discuss the history of what began as a renaissance fair, and what is offered this year.
