AUGUST 24th

The Oregon State
Fair runs Aug. 22–Sept. 1 in Salem, at 2330 17th St. NE. With more than 9,000 things to do,
see and taste, this event is simply too big to miss! And this year, Sunday Aug. 24 is OSU Day, so be sure to wear your orange and black! Here’s a
sampling of OSU-related
activities happening on the 24th for you to check out:
·
Beaver Boulevard (main
concourse). Featuring displays and activities from
various OSU colleges and programs. The women’s volleyball team will sign
autographs from noon to 2 pm, and the OSU Bookstore will be on site selling
Beaver merchandise. Visit Benny on the Boulevard and get your photo
taken with him, too!
·
OSU’s Solar Vehicle, “Rain Dancer.” Solar
Vehicle Team members will also be on hand to share their experience of
competing in the 2,400-mile race from Texas to Alberta, using solar power.
·
Lego Robotics Challenges. Featuring Sumo Bot,
Fastest Bot, and Art Bot competitions, among others. In the 4-H Exhibit

OSU SMILE Booth. Find out more about the
SMILE (Science and Math
Investigative Learning Experiences) Program—a partnership between OSU and 14 Oregon

Sustainable Energy Center. The Center’s OSU Day theme
is “Alternative Transportation.” Don’t miss the petrol diesel / biodiesel test-and-comparison
unit developed by students in last year’s MIME senior design course!
Admission at the
