When I attended the Tillamook county fair in 2016 and went to the Little River Band's concert I had a very enjoyable time! (It was just like being `at any other L.R.B. concert with my family.) The show was dynamite and amenities were comfortable for me:being in my Power wheelchair in the grandstands. The entire fair was AS great as I recalled-being a part of like I had during my youth when I had no physical-disability!) ALL of the Mooks there behaved kindly and ALL KNOW how to have fun in "a Peaceable way" too! :

An old short hair Karen scolded me for it, after waiting in a 30 min line of cars to wait at the front of the line. I told her that I am blocking traffic behind me, then she said ‘well you can’t go inside either’ and I said ‘ok, so what should I do?’ She asked me for my driver’s license and to find an ATM OUTSIDE of the fair and I looked at her like she had a 3rd eye and said that I can’t legally drive without a DL then proceeded to say she didn’t care and to take it up with the officers.

The seating in the grandstand was made horribly bad by persons reserving and holding entire rows (even though there is a “no hold” policy). Four people were hold a block of two entire rows! The Pig-n-Ford race was an interesting local families only event that seemingly had the ten original and only allowed racing families occupying the entire grandstand. The MC droned on and on about them. The fair’s final event is a demolition derby that probably started 2 hours late (we left before it even started setting up).
