From their website:

The Oregon Country Fair creates events and experiences that nourish the spirit, explore living artfully and authentically on earth, and transform culture in magical, joyous and healthy ways.

Our Purpose

The Oregon Country Fair is an annual three-day festival offering the finest in entertainment, hand-made crafts, delectable food and information sharing. The Fair takes place in Veneta, Oregon, about 15 miles west of Eugene. We are in a wooded setting with our own water and communication systems, security team, recycling service and much, much more. We enjoy a mutually cooperative relationship with our neighbors and a solid niche in the Veneta community.

Organizational Structure

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable and educational organization with six full and part-time, year-round employees and a family of thousands of volunteers, crafters, and entertainers. We have a twelve-member Board of Directors that sets policy and provides direction to the staff, both paid and volunteer. We own the land on which the Fair is held.

We are organized around several volunteer work crews who provide services ranging from building booths to taking tickets to publishing a monthly newsletter.

History

Started in 1969 as a benefit for an alternative school, the OCF has a rich and varied history of alternative arts and performance promotion, educational opportunities, land stewardship and philanthropy.
