Sue Kesey has passed away. She was a lovely person who helped Oregon Country Fair grow. Her contributions span many years. The Kesey family founded Springfield Creamery who sponsored the 1982 Field Trip that gave us the down payment to buy our land. The Springfield Creamery booth has been a long-standing presence at the Fair thanks to Sue and the Kesey family. Sue was on the Food and Financial Planning Committees for many years, as well. She was a phenomenal person, and she will be missed by many. This is a huge loss to the Fair and to the Eugene community. The Fair is grateful to Sue for her dedication. Our hearts are with the Kesey family.
