Welcome Home
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to the 2016 Oregon Country Fair! Our stages are brimming with talent, our vendors offer the finest crafts and our food booths represent the best of the Pacific Northwest, inviting you to sample cuisines from around the world. Our entertainers include an amazing and eclectic mix of musicians, acrobats, poets, magicians, jugglers, clowns, tumblers, puppeteers, actors, comedians, marching bands, jug bands and many more that, frankly, defy description. And the food! This isn’t your typical fair food. Not by a mile. I’ve got nothing against elephant ears and cotton candy, mind you, but come on! This is the freshest, most delicious food this side of anywhere and my only regret is that I have but one stomach to give for my Fair. Need a pair of leather sandals comfortable enough to wear all day yet perfectly suited for an evening out on the town? We got ‘em. Looking for an original piece of jewelry to show that special someone just how much they mean to you? Your choices are mind boggling. Are you eight months pregnant and absolutely need to have your belly painted in a tastefully brilliant rendition of Gaia? No problem. Pottery? Yup. All of the crafts sold at the Fair are hand-made by the crafter that you are buying it from.

What the Oregon Country Fair really offers, though, is the experience of the Fair itself. This is the place to put aside your fears. To suspend your disbelief. To take the chance of opening up your heart. To be willing to have your mind blown. And it’s all possible in our little magical spot in the woods of Oregon. On the banks of the Long Tom River, you have found a place where you can allow yourself to be happy. You deserve it. Welcome home. Tom Gannon, General Manager

This year most of the food service ware that you will receive throughout the Fair, including beverage cups, are compostable! Please dispose of all compostable service ware in the green compost receptacles, not the red landfill receptacles. You will find collection kiosks throughout the Fair, often run by costumed Recyclers who will happily answer your questions. If you’re not sure what goes where, ask a Recycler! We on the Recycling Crew are dedicated to minimizing the impact that our event has on our land and the planet. To learn more about what we do, please visit the educational recycling kiosk in Energy Park and our interactive display and presentation at the StewardShip. Our success depends on you – thank you for recycling responsibly.

Paying it Forward © JEREMY RUNNING
The Fair has been rooted in philanthropy since it began as a fundraiser for a children’s program. Our philanthropy is focused on building community and helping people thrive. We have three grantmaking programs that together have donated more than one million dollars: The Bill Wooten Endowment Fund, the Jill Heiman Vision Fund and Board of Directors Donations. To learn more, wander over to Wally’s Way to visit the Galleria Philanthropia booth or visit oregoncountryfair.org. The Jill Heiman Vision Fund exemplifies the Fair’s principles of grassroots community action. The fund honors the attorney who helped the Fair become a nonprofit agency and purchase the site. Cash, food vouchers and check donations are matched two-to-one by the Fair, up to $20,000. To donate, look for wooden donation boxes, which can be found at all Info Booths. Donations are tax-deductible; please include your address for a mailed receipt. Since 1996, the Vision Fund has donated more than $386,000. The 2016 recipients are: Assistance League, Lane Senior Support Coalition, Laurel Hill Center, MidLane Cares, Pearl Buck Center, and Planned Parenthood of Southwest Oregon. Together we are making a difference in our community. Thank you! This year, the Fair’s Bill Wooten Endowment Fund awarded a total of $14,000 to support nonprofit organizations serving youth in the Fern Ridge area. The grants tangibly represent our deep appreciation of our home community. Recipients were: Campfire/ Camp Wilani Alpine Tower, Crow High School/Glass Arts Program, Culture Jam/Camp Scholarships for Veneta Students, Elmira Elementary School/Drawing Project, Lane Arts Council/Summer Arts Camp in Veneta, Rural Arts Center/ Japanese Folk Film Camp and Veneta Elementary School/Mural Project.

The Artist’s Rendering This year’s Oregon Country Fair poster design by Ila Rose developed out of a desire to pay homage to the land and the creatures that live on it year round. We are fortunate to get to use this space for our festivities each year. We owe a debt of gratitude to those involved in studying and maintaining the land year round as well as to the spirits of the land that permit and sometimes seemingly entertain the celebration. Read the artist’s design notes at oregoncountryfairposter.com. Ila Rose (ilarose.com) is an artist working in the Pacific Northwest. She is part of a group of painters who refer to themselves at Accumulative Realists, a movement that draws from Surrealism, Meta-realism, Visionary art and accumulated symbology throughout space and time as a means to retell old mythologies and concepts as current composite narratives, creating new stories about the magic and transformative reality in which we exist. Ila Rose grew up in Eugene, Oregon. Rose has a twin brother and an older sister. Her sister, Rena, who has Cerebral Palsy, has been a recurring source of inspiration for Ila. Her first-hand experience observing and caring for someone who’s had to negotiate the struggles of living in a non-functioning body with a fully functioning mind has informed much of what she does as an artist and the choices she has made as a human. “There’s always been this desire to understand human suffering,” Rose explains. In her art you might see conversations about deformity, decay, death, inequality, emotion, feminism, environmentalism and self reflection. Her work tends to be very colorful yet dark, complex, detailed, luscious and surreal. She occasionally refers to her work as dreamscapes, elaborating that the paintings come to her as a dream would in sleep or that they feel like a sort of subconscious vomit. Ila has been a barista, a waitress, a nanny, a caregiver, a teacher and a professional musician and now works full-time as an artist. Want an opportunity to design the poster for our 48th anniversary and be part of this amazing event? Share some samples of your work or a link to your portfolio before September 15, 2016.
