In this special Oregon Country Fair episode of Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy, I’ll take you on a circuitous path to wonderful Veneta, Oregon, home of the world famous Oregon Country Fair, a multi-day festival in the woods (think Woodstock meets Ren Faire with so much more), which this year celebrated it’s 55th year in existence!

My guest this week…is me! I talk about OCF to open the show, and then you’ll hear from be BEFORE fair, and then you’ll hear me AFTER fair, too! Kinda fun to have that type of reflection on an event that’s dear to you.

I’ve stayed at fair the last two years, so I’m a newbie for sure, but a newbie who loves being there and is excited to share. I’m so excited I tell the story about meeting Reggie Watts story in both the before and after sections. Kinda like getting anywhere at Fair, you might have to pass the same thing twice (at least) before you get to where you were wanted to go. Ha. Really fun to have those kinds of experiences, though.

So tune in to get the skinny on my Top Fair Foods, my favorite fair memory, what I struggle with physically, how to get lost like a pro, hat guys, why we are rebranding our fair show, how to get the most out of festivals while being good to your body, which headlining comedian we met this year, and so so much more. Thanks for stopping by - hope to see you next year!
