2014 Celebration in Boring (Oregon)
Each year I have the privilege of photographing my favorite hometown event, the Celebration in Boring.
As you might know from reading my blog, Boring is an unincorporated community located in Clackamas County, Oregon. It was named after William H. Boring, a union veteran who moved to the area after the Civil War, and is the place that my wife and I have called home since 2008.
It's an amazing community full of diverse thought and warm hearts.
In September of each year, the Boring/Damascus Grange and the Friends of the Boring Station Trailhead Park organize a celebration for the community. The day-long event is complete with horse carriage and pony rides by Eastwind Percerons and Oregon Animal Rescue, a waterball competition among the local firefighters of the Boring Fire District, some amazing and creative face painting by Lotta the Clown, a classic car show, goat poop bingo (a local favorite!), egg and water balloon tosses, and a variety of entertainment including the very popular Pranksters Big Band.
The Celebration in Boring raises funds to support playground equipment and maintenance of the Boring Station Trailhead Park, which is located in the heart of our community.

Pumpkin Fest 2015
We went out to Woodburn Oregon to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm for Pumpkin Festival. We have never been to Pumpkin Fest before and ended up having a really fun time. It's about a 45 minute drive from Portland, cost $7 per person and that includes everything, except the cost of the pumpkin. We got to do 2 different corn mazes, pick a pumpkin to launch out of a pumpkin cannon, paint ball, archery, hay ride, cow train, lots of random games, swings, and so much more. Pumpkins were priced by size, the largest being only $5 which is a great deal!!!!

Dangerous Trailers.Org Presents Wow! Hayrides not regulated by state
Total unsafe owner!
Hayrides not regulated by state or federal authorities
By Joe Douglass, On Your Side Investigator Published: Oct 13, 2014 at 8:46 PM PDT
SAUVIE ISLAND, Ore. – How safe are your children on a hayride at a local pumpkin patch? That question is on a lot of people's minds after two horrible accidents in other parts of the country over the weekend.
A teenage girl was killed and more than 20 others hurt in a hayride crash in Maine on Saturday. In Idaho, another teen was hit and killed by a bus in a corn maze on Friday.
KATU’S On Your Side Investigators looked into the safety of hayrides and discovered they are not regulated by the state or federal government.
At the Pumpkin Patch, one of several similar businesses on Sauvie Island, KATU noticed the trailers that carry people don't have railings. They also don't have safety chains on the hitches, which are required if you're towing a trailer on a public road.
Bob Egger, the owner of the Pumpkin Patch, says the chains aren't needed.
If you have chains on 'em, people will trip over 'em,” Egger said.
Regarding the lack of railing, Egger said, “We've tried all types of stuff and the railing, we put railings on one year and kids climbed on 'em and we felt it was super unsafe.
On a public roadway, there are a number of regulations that are enforced by the state and federal government, but on a private farm, many of those rules don't apply.
When asked if his children are allowed on his hayrides, Egger said, My son drives one. He's 16.
Egger says his farm is a safe place, and that he picks tractor drivers from employees who prove to be good at the job throughout the rest of the year.
Egger says since the Pumpkin Patch started offering hayrides in 1977, it’s served more than a million riders who haven't been hurt, though Egger admits one woman sued him four years ago. He says she jumped off a wagon and dropped the lawsuit after depositions. KATU spoke with the woman’s lawyer and he wouldn’t provide any more details.
At a state and national level there are no government statistics on the number of hayride accidents.
Ron Melancon, a consumer watchdog and administrator of the website, Hayridesafety.org, says based on news reports he monitors and information he’s obtained from attorneys, more than 30 people are killed and 500 injured a year in crashes involving trailers that are not properly regulated.
We're not gonna risk our farm,” Egger said. “That's what we'd be doing to do something unsafe.
OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, does regulate worker safety on farms. But KATU sent them a list of seven popular local hayrides, and an OSHA spokeswoman said none of them have been inspected over the past five years. That list included hayrides at the Pumpkin Patch, Kruger’s Farm and Market and Bella Organic Farm on Sauvie Island, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Liepold Farms in Boring and Olson Farms in Damascus.
