Howdy to all the Fair Family out there who love Odo! And what's not to love? As we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Oregon Country Fair, the 25th Anniversary of the ambiance troupe Risk Of Change at the Fair, and Odo turns 21, it's time to take a look back at Odo's illustrious past...
If one ever had any doubt that Odo had the blood of Deadheads and Sufi Mystics running through his veins, his propensity to twirl on a dime, indiscriminately, easily puts that doubt to rest.
Odo has also never been one to shy away from social justice issues. Back in the Gay 90's, the rights of Queer people throughout Oregon were threatened by various initiatives put on by the homophobic "Oregon Citizens Alliance." Here we see an image of Odo circa 1993, wearing a pink triangle in support of gay rights, marching in solidarity with his walks between sister-brothers at a Gay Pride Parade at Fair. One of the founders of Risk of Change, Ti, can be seen with the pink triangle on his hat in the bottom left of the image. Look for Odo to take a stand again this year as he marches for MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR ALL!
Odo at rest....
