Absolutely do not miss the Oregon State Fair this year for this alone.

Some of the most beautiful and yet most haunting, lump-in-your-throat, art seen in years will be available to us this year at the Oregon State Fair. August 26-Sept. 5.

DO NOT MISS THIS. Every child under the age of 90 needs to see and ponder these haunting art installations.

We went to Newport to see it at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and it has stayed with me since. There has not been a day gone by that I have not thought about that sad and poignant exhibit. And now we have the opportunity to see it here in Salem.
