The University of Oregon in Eugene will play host to our festival this year. We are most excited to be in the land of the Duck!! This year, the festival is a walking festival, so bring your umbrella, waterproof shoes and jacket, some layers and a sunshine(y) disposition.
Twenty years ago, the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student in Laramie, Wyoming shocked the nation and sparked a hate crimes legislation movement which continues to this day in his name. Also impacted were the lives of three ordinary citizens who tended to Matthew in extraordinary ways.
