Not sure if it's presentation or something else. Not enough seating for food Pros: Great people watching experience Plenty of food options even though not very attractive Music stages Plenty of restaurants around in case you don't want to eat at the fair Overall it was an ok experience.

I had a great time listening to the band and drinking lavender lemonade. They had several craft vendors on site as well as free demonstrations on how to make lavender wreathes. The Clackamas River Basin Council had a nice set up of native plants in a portable display kind of fun to check out, however, the placement was next to face painting so I don't think they got as much foot traffic as they had hoped for. They had plenty of u cut lavender. I'm sure they will continue to have that throughout the season. Check out the scene. It's really nice there.

I was welcomed with the sound of festivities with live bands, drinks, food, various vendors, and u-pick lavenders with a choice of making it into a lavender bouquet or wreath. This place is beautiful and has efficient sprinkler mist system and waterfall ponds for kids to play in, which was perfect for this very warm sunny day. The festival lasts for two days, so this year it was on June 25-26, 2016. The event is free! I was bummed that I forgot to bring a nice camera. Great lavender fields for photography! The scent of lavender everywhere just adds that aromatic touch to the whole experience. *These lavender bushes attract a lot of bees. There will be many bees per lavender bush, but they don't really bother you.

It's cool, we've got it. That being said, the Couve's Sausage Fest is an annual stronghold in the city. The Friday - Sunday party every first weekend of September has become the event in which the city welcomes the fall. The whole going is a cash only party for local families. There are carnival rides and games for the kids, a craft fair, awesome live (and usually local) music all day & everyday, and yummy Oktoberfest-esque food to munch on while you mill around all the activities. An extensive beer garden also takes up a good portion of the site with $4.00 domestics and $5.00 local micros on tap. While it is a little more spendy than the local happy hour, proceeds from the fest all go to the elementary school owned by the grounds that the event is held on. If you're looking for something to do regardless of age, but don't really like the huge crowds that county fairs tend to bring this is a nice alternative. If anything it's worth a few wholehearted laughs and a spin on the tilt-a-whirl on a pleasant late summer night. Hmm...maybe I'll get around to making a UYE in 2009.

If I'd have known this before hand, I'd have saved the trip, gone to Otto's or New Season's, picked up some GOOD sausage, and had my own sausage fest. Yeah, I said it. The only reason this gets 2 stars is that if you ignore the fact that it's supposed to be a sausage festival, then it's not a bad little carnival event. If you're into that, check it out next year - just don't expect anything special in the way of sausages.
