Title: Wasco County Court permit form for Rajneeshpuram's "First Annual World Celebration"
Description: A two-page Wasco County Court permit form for a mass outdoor gathering by the Rajneesh Neo-Sannyas International Commune. The document authorizes a gathering of up to 5,000 participants between June 30 and July 10, 1982, conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond, placement and approval of facilities, removal of facilities by July 20, maintenance of security, daily reporting to the Wasco County Sheriff, and road improvements on the petitioner's property. The document appears to be an unsigned or incomplete copy, with blank signature lines for the Wasco County Court and a signature approving the form. The festival did eventually take place on July 3-7, 1982, and was called the "First Annual World Celebration".; This is one document from a binder containing various notes, memos, and official documents relating to the Rajneesh movement compiled by Gerry Thompson. Thompson was Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh's Chief of Staff during most of his governorship.
