What's Happening at the Fair?

Congratulations to all of our raffle prize winners from Saturday’s Valentine Diamond Dinner and a huge thank you to Becky Ledtke, Lisa Frink, C&H Smoked Fish, Kathleen Morgain and Mike Mouliot for donating this year’s fantastic prizes. The fair board did an excellent job organizing the event, raising over $1,500.

This March we have something special planned; a new event to the fairgrounds, one which we hope will become a regular feature. 4-H, WSU and the fair have joined forces to create a community auction. The auction is scheduled for March 28, hosted by the one and only Brian McClain. If you have an item you would like to donate, please contact WSU or the fair office. All proceeds will benefit 4-H, WSU and the fair.

This year’s princess program will soon be starting and I am delighted to confirm that any student from the Wahkiakum area, including Naselle is invited to apply. This year the fair board has decided to lower the age to 14, so any girls 14 and older are encouraged to contact the fair office at 795-3480.

The clean up crew is still winning the battle and is moving quickly from building to building. This week the stage, bleachers and main promenade have all been power washed, removing the last of the stubborn grime. We’ve also been improving the drainage, focusing around the newly repaired horse barn and food booths. There is a still long road ahead but we are making great progress and hope to start painting early next week.
