If you are looking for an interesting activity other than/as well as the Portland Rose Festival this Memorial Day weekend, the 105th (WOW!) Multnomah County Fair could be for you.

Parking is free, entrance is free, and there will be pig races, magic and musical performances, a petting zoo, lots of food, rides, and much more. No mention of mini-horses, so not sure if Lil’ Sebastian‘s (R.I.P.) offspring will be there.
