The Applegate Valley came together this September to celebrate Jacksaphine Count(r)y Fair, bringing a week of art, music, food, outdoor activities, local makers, and community gatherings throughout the Valley. We watched costumed paragliders take to the sky, launched pumpkins, listened to live music, shared poetry, hiked our trails, played disc golf, danced, gathered at farmers’ markets, celebrated our Granges, and connected with neighbors throughout the Valley. It was a wonderful week of celebrating the people, places, and traditions that make the Applegate special. Community leaders, artists, musicians, families, local businesses, organizations, volunteers, and neighbors all contributed to making the week such a memorable celebration.
A Greater Applegate (AGA) is grateful to everyone who participated, volunteered, organized, donated, sponsored, shared their talents, supported local businesses, or simply showed up. Events like Jacksaphine Count(r)y Fair are a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together.
To help support the continuation of events like these and the community-building work that happens throughout the year, AGA launched the Applegate Love Club during the fair. The Love Club provides an ongoing way to support local farmers, artists, businesses, community events, and resilience work through a small monthly gift. Learn more at agreaterapplegate.org.
