Eugene is the #1 hippie city in America (google it). Like the Grateful Dead attracted an army of vagrant leeches who traveled around the country leeching, the Country Fair attracts the same each year. When they come to the area to leech off this hippy event just like leeching off Woodstock, they find a leeching Utopia in Eugene, and enjoy a longer stay here, as they now work a circuit of cities like they used to work the Grateful Dead concerts.
