This past weekend was the magical mystical hippie fest that is the Oregon Country Fair! Keeping track of two toddlers in the middle of all the near naked, sweaty, and often hallucinating masses is no easy task, and we didn't lose either one of them! Pat on the back :) No seriously, 45,000 people attended the three day fair this year and a HUGE chunk of them were on hallucinogens.
The fair grounds are a sprawling and confusing network of paths and meadows along a creek, a beautiful chunk of property that has been sculpted by generations of hippies into a wonderland. Sculptures and art of all varieties around every corner, shelters woven into the bushes, sprinklers up in the trees to mist you as you walk through the shaded paths, potable water fountains seemingly every 100', and above all else thousands and thousands of reminders that the American counterculture is going strong and as weird as ever. I love it :)
Happy Fair!
