The Midnight Show

During the early days of Oregon's famous Country Fair, the Midnight Show was more than a magical conduit for pranksters and sparkles and fandangle; tofu and patchouli and drum circles; sword swallowers, fire-eaters, and magicians; or even a wedding venue. It was a stage shared by icons of the counterculture, lovers, children and family, and those of us finding our way through.



From exploring her roots in Upstate New York to finding her people among a community of young mavericks who gather in fields building their traveling village, free-spirit Camille Cole takes us along for the ride on her life-altering journey across America's heartland-where prairie dust and hemlock and mossy woodland give way to wild iris and forests of fir and the wild free days of the bohemian renaissance happening on the West Coast.
