What's happening at the Fair?

It’s been a busy week down at the fairgrounds in preparation for this weekend’s Country Days. The grass has been cut and the flowers pruned so that all is ready for the Old Time Auction on Saturday at 2 p.m. Many generous donations have resulted in a fantastic range of goodies, so come and pick up a bargain. All proceeds benefit the WSU extension so make sure you don’t miss out.

The preparations for the first annual Oktoberfest are now in full swing. So start flexing those muscles and pumping those biceps, as only one will be crowned champion of the first ever Pumpkin Shot-put contest. October 18 from 1 – 6 p.m., Oktoberfest will be an event like none other.

If you’re a fan of Halloween you won’t want to miss the Haunted House and Jack o lantern contest on November 1. Wicked witches, ghosts, vampires and goblins, will you be brave enough to enter? Will your Jack o Lantern be the scariest? There are prizes for funniest, most creative, and scariest so start practicing your carving skills.

Lastly, I wanted to say a special thanks to the Two Islands Farmer’s Market for supporting the fair in our smoked salmon fundraiser. The salmon sold like hot cakes raising some much needed funds for the fairgrounds. Thank you for your support!
