“Moment to Moment”
This “Moment to Moment” show is about how life changes generation to generation, life to life, year to year, second to second, thought to thought. And how each of those moments affect our senses, our perceptions, our feelings, our relationships and our beliefs. All are in constant motion, colliding like the drops of water running in a river.

In constant motion like a volcano that erupts in minutes but erodes over millennia. Like a flower that blooms for a few days even in barren places, fades in weeks and returns next year. Like a building that supports a family and community for a few generations and rusts.

“Join me as we celebrate our part in the constant spectacle of life, and find beauty and gratitude as we and the world change, “Moment to Moment.”

After retiring in 2015 from a distinguished career in public service, Grady Tarbutton turned to photography for artistic expression. "My goal is to create work that reveals the spirit and beauty of this world. And to do my part to engage everyone with it."

2023 represents the second annual occurrence of the Cottage Grove Fall Festival. We continue to grow the event each year while at the same time being able to highlight and promote our downtown Cottage Grove area, our businesses, and our local artists and vendors.

Have some fun with family and friends at the festival on Friday & Saturday, September 22 & 23 2023, in Downtown Cottage Grove, Oregon! You’ll find us near the historic Cottage Grove Armory, just off Main Street on the corner of South 7th and Washington Streets. (You will not need tickets to enter the event and there will be activities for all ages!)

We invite you to join us to celebrate our friends, our harvest, our art, and our town.
