Now is the time to start thinking about the upcoming 2013 Thurston County Fair and the projects that you’ll be making for exhibiting. It’s never too early to start.

We are working diligently to assure the 2013 Thurston County Fair is a huge success in the Open Class Home Arts Department.

Despite what you may have heard or read, the Thurston County Fair is alive and well and needs your support and participation more than ever.

I’m excited about what will be happening during the fair this year – July 31 through Aug. 4.
