We just returned from the Washington State Fair Convention in Yakima. The theme this year was Cruisin' to Yakima. Even Elvis and the Pink Ladies made an appearance!
We won some cool awards too:
1st Place & Sweepstakes Grand: Scrapbook
1st Place & Sweepstakes Grand: Hat
1st Place: Website
2nd Place: Color Photo/ Entertainment Division taken by Judi Slepyan (shown below)
You can check out the scrapbook at the 
Fair Office. It will be in the History Booth during the fair with all the past scrapbooks.
The Convention is a great opportunity to attend workshops, view different entertainment showcases and talk to people from other fairs in the state. We are able to find out what the public is responding to and what is working for other fairs. Our goal is to provide you with a low cost, fun, family experience.
Here's where you come in. We are getting ready to put together the entertainment for the 2008 Fair. What would YOU like to see? What kind of entertainment acts would you like to have at the fair? What kind of activities would you like to see at the fair? What would make the fair a better experience for you? This is your opportunity to let us know what you want. Please email us and let us know your thoughts.
