E-coli E-Coli is a serious health concern, and we’re serious about wanting to keep you safe and healthy, so PLEASE pay close attention to what our signs tell you about not eating in the barns, and washing your hands after you touch the animals, before you eat, etc. You can’t wash your hands too often and we have plenty of hand-washing stations throughout the grounds and near the dining tents.
Important reminders on how to stay healthy at the fair
(pdf)
Comfort
Before you go to the fair, think about what goes on your feet! There’s a LOT to do and see at the fair which means you’re in for a LOT of walking. If you cover one end of the grounds to the other, you’ll be on asphalt, gravel, dirt, grass, and cement, so make sure you pick out some comfortable shoes that are broken-in, and make walking easy.
Heat & Sun
No, it doesn’t rain in Oregon all the time, and in late July we can experience some of our warmest days of the year, and even with a little cloud cover, you can still get sunburned. That’s why we want to remind you to wear sunscreen and even grab a hat before you head to the fair. You’ll be visiting a long time because we have so much for you to see and do, and you don’t want to take a sunburn home as your fair souvenir!
Hydrate
Along with the sunscreen, don’t forget to keep hydrated on a warm day. We have beverage stations conveniently located throughout the grounds where you can buy a bottle of water at an economical price, and parents: Be especially mindful of your children as they can get dehydrated quickly.
