On arrival in Oregon, hugs, bisous, etc. and then dinner in the hotel at the Alchemy Restaurant. Lovely meal with an excellent Oregon pinot rosé to start and continuing with a lovely Oregon Rogue Valley pinot noir.
The play was a hoot. Hairspray is such a camp production and the OSF certainly camped it up. They also stressed, as John is sure John Waters, the originator of the production in Baltimore, wanted it to be, that it is a story about equality, racial, sexual, and in this production even for the disabled--several characters were visibly disabled and performed marvelously. We laughed, we applauded, we danced in our seats, lots of fun with a good message.
We arose this morning for breakfast and then off to the parade. Ashland's 4th of July parade is quite impressive starting with the Air Force fly-by and then proceeding through all of the groups, organizations, business and political forces that make the town a good place to live. Here's a compilation of photos.
