What's Happening at the Fair?

Within the role of fair manager I’ve had the pleasure to work with a wide range of community based groups. I’m delighted to confirm that this year we’ve partnered with the Wahkiakum Community Network. A long time supporter of the fair, the Community Network has graciously agreed to sponsor a mechanical bull ride! Fun for any age, the mechanical bull ride will be available Friday and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. each day. Both boards are excited to start a new tradition, focusing on working together to support our community.

These days it’s a struggle to fit everything in. Balancing work with family is difficult and the fair board appreciates not everyone works nine to five. We want to support the community and provide options so that everyone can join in on our 101st fair this August. As a trial, this year the fair office hours will be extended. From this week onwards the office will be open 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursdays. Weekend appointments are also available upon request.

Have you gotten your copy of the Premium Book yet? The wait is finally over and the new and improved premium book is ready and waiting. This year there’s a new style, simplifying the scoring, making it easier to navigate.

Calling all volunteers! Do you know someone with extra time on their hands? Do you need to complete your community service hours? The fair always needs volunteers but we also offer community service programs. If you have some time to kill or need to work some time off, give us a call.
