Hey campers! Did you know that our beloved Zumwalt Park is maintained entirely by volunteers?! All year long, members of Friends of Zumwalt Park mow the grass, cut brush, beat back the blackberries, and even take out the trash...all on their own time and with little support.
Once again the freaky and fabulous Zumwalt campers will be performing a miracle at the park on Saturday morning of Fair weekend. For three years campers have been working on forest trails and really makes a difference. Miracle you ask? Surely I'm exaggerating. Not so. In two hours last year Zumwalt campers moved three dumptruck loads of chips, turning a muddy rut into a cooshy sweet trail. The locals have been blown away by the amount of work you crazy hippies can do. So yeah, for Friends of Zumwalt Park, it's a miracle.
Before we head into the Fair on Saturday we will giving a little back to a place that have given us so much fun and joy. It's fun, super easy, and many hands make for light work. Below is a map of the trails and where we’ll be working this year.

Author: El Scorcho (not his real name)Been camping for Fair at Zumwalt since 1994 and still haven't seen it all. Why else have a blog for something that lasts three days, once a year? I am not an employee of the City of Veneta and have no affiliation with the Oregon Country Fair. Well, I go to Fair and I do volunteer stuff at camp, but that in no way makes this website and blog official. Consume with caution! Archives
