History
Before 1858 at Eugene, Oregon. Due to its favorable terrain and fertile soil, Eugene has been described as a natural center for agriculture. But farmers appear to make little money. this is due to the lack of suitable roadways for transporting goods between Eugene and the marketplaces in Portland. The only option to move such products was to use a steamship that sailed up the Willamette, but the cost of shipping was high. In response to these circumstances, farmers begin to get together and formed farmer's clubs, which are essentially communities where farmers share knowledge and methods to advance the American agricultural system. They exchange growing techniques and shipping advice.

Later in 1858 A Lane County Agricultural Society was formed and held the first exhibition on 9th October but still not considered fair. In 1859 Lane County Agricultural Society had another meeting on 7th April. The meeting was big enough that it was considered the advisability of holding a fair. This led to another meeting in the same year 7th December with the representative of other county societies. In another meeting on 22nd February 1860, a state agricultural society was formed and decided to hold a state fair in 1860. Thus the first state fair was held from 3rd October to 4th October 1860 near Oregon City. Another fair was on the 9th and 10th of October 1861. After that Apparently, there were no fairs held. Finally, On 25th September 1884, The first official "Lane County Fair" was held for three days with the officers and members of Lane County Agricultural Society sponsorship. It was a success and the fairs were continuously held until 1910 with the help of granges the best exhibits were sent to Portland for advertisement and became known across the country. It stated that 1910 is the end of the pioneer fairs and the beginning of our present-day modern fairs.

Beer
One of the oldest and most popular alcoholic beverages in the world is beer. It is made by brewing and fermenting carbohydrates, primarily sourced from cereal grains—most frequently from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used. After water and tea, it is the third most popular beverage worldwide. Beer is created during the brewing process by fermenting the starch sugars in the wort, which results in the production of ethanol and carbonation. Hops, which impart bitterness and other flavors as well as serve as a natural preservative and stabilizing agent, are used in the majority of current beers. In addition to or instead of hops, other flavoring ingredients can be used, such as gruit, herbs, or fruits. The natural carbonation effect in commercial brewing is frequently lost during processing and replaced with induced carbonation.

Wine
Wine is typically a fermented grape-based alcoholic beverage. The sugar in the grapes is consumed by yeast, which then breaks it down into ethanol and carbon dioxide while also producing heat. Different kinds of wine are mostly influenced by various yeast strains and grape varieties. These variations are the result of intricate interactions between the biological growth of the grape, the fermentation reactions, the terroir (growing region) of the grape, and the wine-making process. Legal appellations are established in many nations to specify wine styles and quality. These often place limitations on the allowable grape types, geographical origin, and other characteristics of wine production. Various crops, such as rice wine and other fruit wines such as plum, cherry, pomegranate, currant, and elderberry, are fermented to create wines that are not created from grapes.

BarBeQue ( BBQ )
Barbecue or barbeque is a phrase used to describe a variety of cooking techniques that employ live fire and smoke to cook the food. It is also known as barbecue informally in the UK, US, and Canada, barbie in Australia, and braai in South Africa. The phrase is also typically used to describe the tools used in conjunction with those techniques, the wider cuisines that these techniques result in, and the meals or events where this kind of food is prepared and served. Although there are many different grilling cooking techniques, outdoor cooking accounts for the majority of them.

Ice-Cream
Ice cream is a sweetened frozen meal that is frequently consumed as a dessert or as a snack. It can be made with milk or cream and is flavored with fruit like strawberries or peaches, as well as a sweetener like sugar or an alternative, a spice like chocolate, or vanilla. It can also be produced by combining liquid nitrogen with a flavoring cream base. Sometimes stabilizers and food coloring are combined. The liquid is swirled while being cooled below the freezing point of water in order to integrate air voids and avoid the formation of discernible ice crystals. A smooth, semi-solid foam is the end result, becoming solid at very low temperatures (below 2 °C or 35 °F). As its temperature rises, it becomes more flexible.

2020 & 2021
