Oregon State Fair

Celebrate the Beaver State at this beer-soaked bash, part of the Bell House’s monthly series of state-themed parties. Nosh on free blackberry pie (or enter your own in the cook-off by e-mailing info@thebellhouseny.com before May 13) while dancing to tunes spun by Oregon DJs and guzzling brews from Full Sail and Session ($6, with an Oregon ID $3). Those who get in the spirit can win big: Enter your oversize dogs in the Bigfoot competition, which carries a $50 prize. You can also try your luck at scoring beers and concert tickets by answering trivia questions and spinning a prize wheel.
