FOR SIGNS SIGNS hosted by Lesley:
This sign made us laugh when went to the Oregon Country Fair here in Veneta last weekend. (I think we have one of those rooms).
The Fair is a one-of-a-kind festival, not your usual fair, and I'll post some more from it later.
This particular booth turned out to be a place where founders of the OCF gather to tell stories about its origin and history. The fair has been held annually for 42 years, so most of those founders are somewhere near our age group and obviously they still have a wry sense of humor!
Great sign and shot.

Can't wait to hear about this fair that was founded by people with such great wit.

My grandmother was a great story teller and I always wanted to grow up to be just like her. I don't think I have any special talent for telling, but listening is something I do well... So this funny Still Living Room at the Oregon County Fair is definitely a place for me!

I would find this interesting. I love reading about history. There's so much that was not taught at school.

ha, ha, ha! Where I grew up, we called it the "Front Room". Is that just in the Chicago area or what?

an outdoor living room with stories sounds fun.

And I bet there are lots of behind-the-scenes stories to share!

Being a bit quirky myself, I think I would be in old ladies heaven at this festival. I know I would have a great time. Plus, I adore story tellers of any kind. Genie
