The
Silent Auction -- Saturday and Sunday!
See what's available for bid at the Silent Auction in the
EORenew booth! We are very grateful to the many donors for this
benefit auction. Purchases support the 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization that brings you SolWest Fair and other educational and
service programs throughout the year.
Check out the items on display, write your bid on the sheet
next to the item, and then attend the bid closing to see if you have
won your bid. Selected items will finish at 6:30 on Saturday, and the
rest will finish at 2:00 Sunday. You or your representative must be
present to win. All items must be removed from the fairgrounds by
3:30 Sunday afternoon.
At posting time, donations were coming in too fast to get them

"EXTRAORDINARY BOOKS AND MORE"
AT THE SOLWEST BOOKSTORE
Our SolWest bookseller is 100fires.com, a full service bookstore with
over 7000 titles available (many of which will be on display at the
bookstore in the Pavilion). SolWest Bookstore proprietor Paul
Cienfuegos would love to help you locate hard-to-find books, new and
used. If you don't find what you are looking for at the fair, he can
order any new or used book on the spot, to be delivered direct to
your door. Make sure to ask Paul about his book title recommendations
for your personal journey towards self-reliance and independence. |
Volunteers
needed
It takes many helping hands to run SolWest: greeters selling
tickets at the gate, question-answerers, recyclers, and go-fers. You
can help keep SolWest running smoothly and fairgoers finding the
information they came for by volunteering for 2-hour shifts during
SolWest. Reap the rewards of free fair entry and free camping.
Training provided.
For more information email us in advance at info@solwest.org,
call the EORenew office at 541-575-3633, or inquire at the main entry
gate, and -- thank you!
Camping
at SolWest
Tents, tent-trailers, and camper vans or teardrops: Camp in
"the Orchard" if you have a small setup and don't need a
hookup. The camping is in a grassy field, with water, showers, and
toilets available nearby. There will also be porta-potties for
convenience at night. The fee is $15 for the weekend, payable to
EORenew (reservations recommended at 541-575-3633). Check in when you
arrive with our campground host, Mike Igo. Do you play an instrument?
There always seems to be some acoustic music at the campground
host’s tent (“under the big elm tree”) in the
evenings, 8-11pm.
RVs and large vehicles: The Grant County RV Park has full
hookups and shade trees. For reservations, call 541-575-1900. RV
slots go fast, so reserve early! The RV Park is the closest place to
all the action. Unplugged RVs, and anyone else, are welcome to camp
free around the edges of our 30 acre parking field, 1 block east of
the fairgrounds on Third Street. There will be portapotties here,
too, for the travel-weary as well as the not completely
self-contained. No reservations are necessary, but please park around
the back edges near the trees, or across the street on the river levee.
If you own a VW camper, join the Wet
Westies for a campout at SolWest Fair. Contact Jennifer Barker
phone 541-575-3633 or email info@solwest.org
Please contact the EORenew
office if you would like
to distribute posters or
brochures in your area.
About
Dogs and other pets... |
Please leave your dog at home if at all possible. Dog incidents are
unpleasant for everyone. Dogs (in fact, all pets) at the fairgrounds
must be on a leash at all times, and are not allowed in lecture rooms.
Thank you! |

SolWest Massage Therapist
Take a
break from your busy event schedule to experience a quiet and
refreshing moment.
Space Q in the Pavilion
Eva Darrow, LMT14444
Massage provides relief from chronic tension and pain, sore
tired muscles, anxiety, insomnia, stress, and poor circulation (just
to name a few). Our SolWest massage therapist, Eva, graduated in 2007
from the Ashland Institute of Massage. Eva has experience with both
clinical and relaxation massage. Her approach, based on Swedish
massage, differs from client to client. Additional techniques she
employs include myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, Thai
massage, and shiatsu.
Eva enjoys being a part of alternative medicine, and believes
that massage is one method of providing a means for more effective
and less traumatic healing. Stop by and reserve your preferred time.
Eva looks forward to seeing you at SolWest 2011!
Getting here is half
the fun! See our Contact
