The W.O.E. property was
donated to the Western Oregon Exposition by the Daugherty family in August
of 1956. The property has since been used to promote agriculture and industry
in the Cottage Grove area. Over the past 40 years, all of the buildings
were built through donations and volunteer help. During this
time the property has been used for its intended purpose and has been maintained
to the best of its financial ability.
The business of the W.O.E fair
is operated by an eleven member volunteer board, with other people and
organizations helping with projects during the fair and throughout the
year. |
