weekend magic

Oregon Country Fair was this past weekend. It's a three-day event in Veneta, OR, though I only went on Saturday. It was truly a celebration of people, art, music, life, etc. Everything at the fairgrounds is handmade. The booths are made of wood, and the stages are beautiful and unique. It is a very exclusive group of vendors that returns every year. There are no new vendors because the spots are all handed down within the families.

It was a marvelous time.

The Oregon Coast
After the fair, we drove west to the coast and north a ways and camped near the beach. The next day, we went hiking and looking around. What a beautiful place!
