[Community] : Re: commemorate first OCF?

[David Oaks]

Great question Doc Sheinin!

So you're on committee? ;)

Perhaps: A) Not make it so huge that it's like an Oregon Country Fair  
itself, B) encourage people to bike and walk, C) perhaps shuttle up  
from church at base of 18th, if they'd agree?

Definitely good stuff for a committee to wrestle with it, are you on?
