I just returned from my first Oregon Truffle Festival and I can say that it was an awesome experience, beyond my wildest dreams. The staff of the festival was very friendly and made me and others feel welcomed. I enjoyed the whole weekend OTF experience so much that I would totally recommend it to others and hope to be back in the future.
