We have a booth at the State fair this year. The Capitol District did this last year and asked me if the state would like to participate with them, and I said YES.

When: Sunday, August 30, 2026

Where: Floral Building, Oregon State Fairgrounds

We will need information from any of the clubs and districts that would like to get their information out to potential members. This will be a group effort, and volunteers to help at the booth are needed.

Here are the proposed time slots for volunteer sign-ups. These times were used last year, and it seemed to work well. The building opens at 10am, but we can get in at 9am (or earlier) to set up.

9:00 AM-11:00 AM (includes set up from 9-10)

11:00 AM- 1:00 PM

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

7:00 PM – 9:00 PM (includes tear down which starts at 8:30)

Previously, the Capitol District board signed up last for any unfilled slots, and we can ask them to do that again this year.

All volunteers get one complimentary admission and parking ticket.  We need to ask volunteers for their email so that we can send tickets electronically.  For those who do not use email, will-call pickup is available.

The building is air-conditioned, so it is a good idea to bring a jacket or wear layers.

Again, please send your club information to Becky Cook at BeckyCookOSFGC@gmail.com for the handouts.

Thanks so much. See you at the Oregon State Fair.

President Becky
