Along with a multitude of ideas on how to make a great fair better, Island County Fair was recognized for excellence at the Washington State Fairs Convention in Yakima Oct. 23-25. We came home with the following awards:
Our HAT received the GRAND PRIZE in two categories – Best Use of Theme and Best of Show;
Our WEBSITE was awarded a First Place blue ribbon;
And this PHOTO by Judi Slepyan took Second Place in the Kids & Animals Division.
It has been a great first day at the WSFA Convention in Yakima today! We are working hard to bring home fresh ideas for the 2009 Fair!
