As a born and raised Montanan, the words “country fair” mean livestock, 4-H, bump-n-runs, mini donuts, rodeos, country concerts, and cowboy boots. Last month I learned that those words mean something entirely different to the small city of Veneta, OR and the thousands of people who attend the Oregon Country Fair every year.
Some of you might be thinking fruit? Thats not dessert?? But pair it with some creamy fruit dip and you might just change your mind. I brought this dish to a barbeque last weekend and brought home a nearly empty tray.
The fourth of July really seemed to sneak up on me this year. I’m not sure if it was the three week’s worth of clouds and rain prior to the holiday that was to blame but June came and went and I found myself without much of a plan. And for anyone that knows me, you know that I LOVE to make plans. Thankfully, my friends and I made last minute plans to escape for the day to a place that is home to a handful of breweries and wineries.
