Suzi Prozanski has attended the Oregon Country Fair since 1984. To document the fair’s beginning, she interviewed more than 300 participants and researched archived newspapers files, early fair records, and other sources. A sequel to "Fruit of the Sixties" is underway.
A journalist for more than two decades, Suzi worked for the Houston Post and the Register-Guard in Eugene, and has taught courses in reporting and copy editing as an adjunct instructor at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. She has volunteered on the fair's Info Crew and for Fair Family News, the fair's newsletter.
