The Harness Section has been deleted from the 2008 fair due to lack of participants in recent years. We will reconsider their inclusion in the fair in 2009.
Equine Judging contest and Groom Squad will both be held on Sunday, Sept 7.
National Equine Public Presentations will be held on Saturday, Sept 13.
The State 4-H Board has worked with the Western Washington Fair to have as few change over days as possible on weekends. We only have one weekend changeover this year. This will certainly meet with the public's approval as our barns won't be closed so much on the weekends.
