You had an unfortunate experience. However, based on my own adventures, I found Oregonians very conscious of their traditions and love of outdoor life. In general, I would avoid commercial events, whatever their label. They draw their own crowd, quite different from folks who really live a frontier-like life in the outback of our state. If you visit our mountain country don't forget to bring along one of those splendid classic 135mm Leitz lenses. That lens is made for Oregon. Best, Bob Rosen
