The Oregon Country Fair is a special place and time of year for many people in the Pacific Northwest. Started in 1969, the fair takes place on a 20 acre fairyland of forests and meadows outside Eugene the second weekend of July. It’s sort of a renaissance fair, meets-hippie counterculture meetup, meets music festival. An hour-long OPB Oregon Art Beat special about the fair premieres on June 27th. We speak with Oregon Art Beat producer, Eric Slade.
