My first visit to the Oregon Country Fair

I can't believe it! My last three posts all show me in chia "sproutfits." I guess wearing chia is the only thing that can inspire me to create a post. I should change the name of this blog to "Adventures in Chia."


"Garf" the Caveman joined me along with his massive club. Amy is on fire in her red dress, and Eli is "Tangled Up In Blue."
Being covered with greenery lended itself to the organic nature of the event.
The Country Fair is a joyous freak show featuring a dizzying and non-stop array of performances, food, crafts and parades. The sproutfit was defiantly a big hit! One of the most memorable moments was when the parade of drumming dirt people stopped their procession, surrounded me and started stroking every inch of my greenery. It was overwhelming and kind of freaky. I was petted throughout the day, but these folks really messed up my chia by rubbing their painted selves up against me.
Am I done with chia? Certainly not. Today I did two paintings detailing a much more elaborate and ambitious chia costume for next year.
