This weekend is the 52nd annual Bohemia Mining Days in Cottage Grove, so there are plenty of activities to keep you busy! Coiner Park has been transformed into a mining camp for the weekend, and there is the parade on Saturday morning, of course. There are more activities and events than I can list here, so for full details about all of the BMD events, activities, food venues, musical performances, and theatre performances, check out their official website.
Visit the Cottage Grove Airport this weekend to see antique & classic planes at the Oregon Antique & Classic Aircraft Club Biennial Fly-In.
This weekend is also the 6th annual Tayberry Jam (AKA Reggae on the Mountain) on Cougar Mountain in Saginaw.
On Sunday, the Saginaw Vineyard is having their Midsummer Celebration & Car Show/Poker Run. It’s free admission and runs from 11am-6pm.
If you need something to do next week, do your produce shopping at the Grower’s Market at Coiner Park from 4-8pm and check out the Concert in the Park to hear world music by the Hanz Araki Band starting at 6:30.
And if you need to escape from the heat, don’t forget to check out all of the great weekly events for kids of all ages at the Cottage Grove Public Library. From story time, to sing-alongs, to movies, they’ve got something for everyone.
In honor of Bohemia Mining Days, here is a photograph I took last summer when we went camping at Musick Cabin on Bohemia Mountain. This was from one of the streams found on a trail down below the mountain.
