A to Z of places that don't have an S


veneta, oregon

Veneta has been the site of the annual Oregon Country Fair, originally called the Renaissance Faire, since 1970.[10]

On August 27, 1972, the Grateful Dead played a concert—the first "Field Trip"—at the Oregon Country Fair site. The concert, a benefit for Springfield Creamery, has become legendary to Deadheads and is documented in the film Sunshine Daydream.[10] The city's name is used on Veneta, Oregon, a 2004 release by New Riders of the Purple Sage, which is a live recording of the group's opening performance at the 1972 Field Trip.[11]
