This weekend in Corvallis, OR

The 53rd annual Corvallis Fall Festival brings art, music, and community to Central Park in downtown Corvallis, Oregon. Explore more than 170 artist booths and enjoy continuous live entertainment on two stages in a family friendly setting. Hands-on creativity awaits in the Art Discovery Zone, and the Young Artist Marketplace highlights creators ages 8 to 18 sharing their handmade work. A street dance keeps the festivities going after the art booths close. The food court features local and regional food and beverage vendors and supports Benton County charity organizations. Admission is free, and a complimentary shuttle is available.

Open Team Practice at Albany Outdoor Paintball, hosted by AOP WreckingCrew, focuses on NXL-style development for players looking to step up their game, connect with a squad, or prepare for competition. Sessions feature fundamentals instruction, fast-paced drills, and structured scrimmages in 3v3 and 5v5 formats. Play is balanced for all experience levels, with adjustments made to teams as needed, and participants ages 10 and up are welcome. Entry and air are $15, and paint is available at $60 per case of 2000 GI custom paintballs or a comparable option. Pre-registration is available to secure a spot.

Bring your own project and enjoy a relaxed crafting session with fellow makers. All types of arts and crafts are welcome, and every skill level is included. The gathering takes place upstairs at Market of Choice. For beginners without materials, loaner supplies or guidance can be arranged with advance notice, and there is often a small stash of secondhand needles and bargain yarn available when requested ahead of time.
