    These events are such an interesting contrast, and both are great! Both have enthusiastic attendance of 15-20K people per day and both feed the local economies, top to bottom. Mainly, both highlight terrific talent. I suppose an economist could enjoy messing around with contrasting distribution of income and governing structures, but seems like a unique win-win for the Eugene area to have both events.

    Steve P,
    Be careful judging events from google photos. The fair is so much more then painted boobs… If that is all you see then you missed 99.98% of the fair.

    And yes, it IS way more fun then the Olympic trials.

    Try replacing the word Eugene with track and re-post the results.

      Certainly can’t find something you’re not looking for now can you?

      Waiting to see the results posted by on Chris’ suggestion. I can you tell you the results are much different, somehow track olympic trials searches dominate the others.
