hydration
Summer in the Willamette Valley can be very hot. You will be attending the Oregon Country Fair and doing literally miles of walking. Couple this with alcoholic beverages and you have a recipe for dehydration. Medical problems are rare at ZCG, but dehydration is more common than it should be. Lack of water will suck the fun right out of your evening or your whole weekend, and can cause weakness and fainting. Keep water in a bottle with you, and if you’re drinking alcoholic beverages, have a glass of water for every beer or cocktail.
Occasionally, there are thunderstorms in the Willamette Valley and there have been years when there have been showers during Fair. In the days before the big weekend, keep and eye on the weather forecast for Veneta, Oregon and prepare accordingly. Also, as the sun goes down the wind off the lake can come up, and the nights can be chilly. Be sure to bring some clothes to bundle up in.
