Oregon State Fair Opens Friday
SALEM, OR -- The Oregon State Fair officially begins Friday in Salem, featuring old favorites and a few new ones. Livestock events have already started and the State Fair's Drew Marine says the Beef Show is always impressive, "There are nine and 10 year olds that might not even weigh 75 pounds, and they're controlling an animal that weighs over a thousand pounds."
