When's
the last time you got lost? The Oregon Country Fair
features miles of forest paths revealing a secret mystery
around every corner. Traipse for three days along the
warm, dusty, wooded boulevards to the strumming of bards,
the caterwauling of wee children, and intoxicating laughs.
Support local craftspeople by buying goods in a quaint,
beautiful setting. Treat yourself to treats, for food
carts are always within an arm's reach! Your stomach shall
not stumble. Enjoy twirling fire dancers, magicians, shady
groves and falafel. The Oregon Country Fair is back and
better than ever! See Friday Calendar.
They're
the last four nights of the Oregon Bach Festival:
Beethoven and Penderecki at the Hult's Silva Hall on
July 8; Celtic and Classical at the UO's Beall Hall
on July 9; an organ recital by Mary Preston at the Central
Lutheran Church on July 10 and Mendelssohn's Elijah
on July 11, conducted with skill by Helmuth Rilling,
at the Hult's Silva Hall. Lorna McGhee (right)
and Heidi Kreutzen (far right) perform at Beall
Hall July 9. See Thursday, July 8 Calendar.

keynote speakers, workshops and even children's activities.
See Tuesday Calendar and go to 
The
Ladder & La Lune is a dance performance of collage
movement by the members of the ZWELK Dance Cartel. Coming
together to specifically investigate movement of fluid images,
ZWELK strives to develop a new mythology of evolving archetypes
through four pieces: "Asiatic Flu" — a dialogue on freedom;
"Custard Apples" — a humorous parable; "Chakra Support Grupe"
— six piquant and poignant tales; and "The Ladder &
La Lune" — a resonance of physical intimacy. ZWELK derives
its name from the first letter of each of the company's last names:
Jessica Zay; Terrisa West; Quint Ehley; David James Lord and David
Koteen. For three nights only at the comfy Lord Leebrick Theatre.
See Thursday, July 15 Calendar.
