2009 will go down as the 40th Anniversary of Oregon Country Fair and as the least dusty one as well. The Dust Abatement Plan of 2009 was a bit over the top on Sunday, when we were bombarded with thunder, lightning and heavy rain from about 10 am to 2pm. I have a video of the muddy aftermath posted on the Video page here. It was almost comical to watch the Grounds Crew spread bales of hay over the mud, often times skipping over some of the larger muddy spots to focus on higher trafficked areas. As usual the people were fantastic all week and the sauna was wonderful, even if the the weather was a bit cooler than usual. I have posted the photos here, in the Photos Section. All in all it was a fabulous year out there, one of the best ever, lots of magic happening for everyone…
