The Oregon Country Fair
24551 Suttle Rd Veneta, OR 97437 · Friday July 13 2012, 12:29 PM
<p>Where's the biggest party in the continental U.S. happening on the second weekend in July? Hiding in the woods, about 13 miles east of Eugene Oregon and just northwest of the tiny town of Veneta, you'll find an entertainment extravaganza, The Oregon Country Fair. It's a good-timespalooza, with entertainment, crafts and food to please every counter-culture aesthetic, all appearing in an eco-friendly setting. In fact, this three day Teddy Bear's Picnic romp through the forest is the largest and most eco-conscious of its kind anywhere. Tens of thousands make the pilgrimage each year to visit the event.<br /><br />It's a match made in heaven, the perfect setting and audience for someone who crafts recycled junk into his own 'Nobro' resophonic guitars. For well over a decade, the OCF has hosted the musical endeavors of US. Pacific Northwest Folk/Blues artist, Reggie Miles. This year, you'll enjoy his acoustic fingerstyle pickin, bottleneck slide, washboard percussion and musical sawplaying in a rare duo called, Toothless Jake and Biggie Rat.</p>
