Contest opens to find theme for 101st fair

Following last Wednesday’s monthly Wahkiakum County Fair board meeting, the board has decided to hold a 2009 Fair Theme contest. All residents of Wahkiakum county and Naselle are invited to submit their ideas for a theme for this summer’s 101st Wahkiakum County Fair.

There are no age restrictions and residents can enter as many themes as they wish. The winner will be chosen by vote at the next fair board meeting, scheduled for April 8, 7 p.m. at the Wahkiakum County Courthouse.

As a special bonus, the winner will receive a coupon for a free large pizza from Sharon’s Pizza in Cathlamet.

All entries must include a contact name and telephone number and can be submitted via email at wahkiakumfair@centurytel.net, by phone at 795-3480 or through the mail: PO Box 1, Skamokawa WA, 98647.

The 2009 Wahkiakum County Fair is scheduled for August 20-22 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you have any questions, contact the fair manager Sarah Lawrence at 795-3480.
