Community Agreement
All of us at the OCF want to have a safe and wonderful experience at the Fair. As the Fair has grown, we no longer all know each other, and unfortunately, there are people who come to the Fair who take advantage of our open and loving community. Even though the Fair tries hard to prevent problems, inappropriate behaviors sometimes occur. These can include crimes such as theft and physical and sexual assault.
The OCF Guidelines exist to help us protect the health and safety of all. By signing for your wristband, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to abide by the OCF Guidelines, Code of Conduct, and the following statement:
- I agree to be responsible for ensuring the safety of all minors in my care. I will not leave children unattended at any time while at the Fair.
- I agree not to sneak people into the Fair or allow people who do not have wristbands to stay after public hours, as doing so strains our capacity to take care of one another and our land.
- I agree to cooperate fully with the volunteers who “sweep” the Fair of visitors without overnight credentials at closing time, including permitting my tent, vehicle, or other camping facility to be swept if requested.
Failure to abide by the Oregon Country Fair Code of Conduct, the Guidelines, Federal, Oregon, or Lane County laws may result in expulsion from the Fair, booth penalties, removal from staff position, termination of membership, or being turned over to the proper authorities, as the situation requires.
