The state of Oregon sponsored Oregon's version of Woodstock in 1970. The only state to sponsor a hippie rock festival. Just watched a program on it. I've watched the show before a couple times. It's a one of a kind event that couldn't happen today.

We have a show called "Oregon Experience" on Oregon Public Broadcasting. Type in Oregon Voretex festival 1970 in a search. Maybe there's a video of it you can watch.
Nixon was coming to Portland to give a speech, and the event was set up to get protesters out of town. It worked out really well for everyone.
This must have been a cool event to attend. I woulda been nearing 13 when this happened. Unlike Woodstock........... No rain. This may have a video link.
