2020 Washington State Fair Canceled
After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Fair. At its core, any fair, ours included, is a people-gathering event, the more people the better. That hypothesis runs contrary to the challenges of containing this pandemic. Consequently, though it was a difficult decision, it was really the only decision possible based on what we currently know. It was a decision made in what we feel are the best interests of the health and safety of all of our guests, our employees, our exhibitors; basically all of our constituents.
Unfortunately with the cancelation of the 2020 Fair, our Open Class Livestock Shows will not be able to proceed. We will be working with our youth show partners, such as FFA, 4-H and Junior Poultry Association on how to support their 2020 efforts in the coming weeks.
If you've already submitted your entry information and competition fees, we will be contacting registered participants on the cancelation of their entries and refunding their fees via e-mail supplied at time of entry. We appreciate your patience as we roll out communications.
