Could be a spectacular State Fair this year up in Salem, Oregon, over the Labor Day weekend.
Besides Hot Dog and Pie-Eating contests and 4H and Future Farmers of America exhibits, a new crop will be featured this year: Marijuana.
The Oregon Cannabis Business Council is sponsoring the exhibit. Nine plants of Oregon’s finest flowers will be displayed in a greenhouse and monitored by a security guard.
Not so fast! Only people age 21 and older will be allowed inside.
“We are doing it 4H style,” Fair spokesman Dan Cox said. “You get a blue, purple or yellow ribbon. We are celebrating the plant as a farm crop from Oregon.”
“Plant that bell and let it ring!”
