This post is a little late, but we definitely didn’t want to forget about some of our WOE Heritage Fair winners!
A big congratulations to the winners from a few of the fun things we had going on this year!
Our Parade Flyer Drawing started all the way back at Bohemia Mining Days, when we handed out flyers and asked you to hang onto them and bring them back to the fair for a chance to win.
We also had our beautiful Quilt Raffle, along with the Veggie Scramble Passport for the kiddos.
Congratulations to all of our winners! We hope you enjoyed your prizes, and thank you to everyone who participated, held onto those flyers, bought raffle tickets, and helped the kids complete their passports.
These are the little things that make the WOE so much fun, and we appreciate everyone who joined in. See you next year!

Thank you for visiting the barns during the 2026 Western Oregon Exposition Heritage Fair!
Our barns were full of animals brought in and shown by youth exhibitors. Our show allows for 4-H members as well as public youth to exhibit their animals and compete in both showmanship and breed conformation classes. We had an excellent turnout and all cages were full of critters, ranging from pigeons up to cows!
We love having the public come through and see the animals that the kids have been raising.
We want to extend a public thank you to our judges:
🐓🦆🪿Tammie Bolesworth & Savannah
🐐🐑 Mackenzie Champion
🐹Candy Brentano
🐄🐮 Noah Lemke
🕊️Larry Flowers
🐇🐰Victoria Saucedo
🐕 Austin Nieve

We sincerely appreciate these judges, giving their time and expertise to our youth!

We would like to thank our sponsors South Lane TV as well as Cottage Grove Community Foundation for their donations!

This year we took on the big job of removing the barn sawdust and replacing it with river sand to cut down on the dust and allergens in the barn walkways. We are so grateful for the help from Larry and Rita Barkemeyer, Megan and Colton Groat, Suzan Rolfe, Dan Basaraba, Ken Schwieger and others that put in their time to help upgrade the barn footing!

It’s never too early to start planning for next year, if you have questions about exhibiting, interested in becoming a livestock judge, would like to donate to our show, or would like to volunteer in the barn- feel free to reach out. We are always grateful to have help! 

See you next year August 20-22, 2027

Thank you to all the vendors who donated for the drawings. We appreciate each and every one of you!

❤️ And Just Like That… It’s Time to Say Farewell Until Next Year!
What a weekend.
To everyone who came through the gates, entered an exhibit, competed, volunteered, performed, brought an animal, sold their creations, served up great food, sponsored an activity, brought the kids, or simply came out to enjoy the fair — THANK YOU.
The Western Oregon Exposition Heritage Fair is truly a community fair, and it takes a community to make it happen.
We hope you leave with a few new memories, some great stories, and maybe even a ribbon or two. ❤️
And while this year’s fair may be coming to an end, it’s never too early to start thinking about next year!
🌱 What will you grow?
🥧 What will you bake?
📸 What photo will you capture?
🧵 What will you make?
🐄 What will you show?
🏆 What will you compete in?
🙋 Or maybe next year is the year you join us as a volunteer!
Start planning now, because we’ll be back the third weekend in August next year.
Until then, thank you for supporting the WOE, keeping these traditions alive, and continuing to make this little community fair something pretty special.
❤️ Farewell for now. We’ll see you next year!
