WASHINGTON FAIRS COMMISSION
The San Juan County Fair extends its appreciation to the Washington State Department of Agriculture which administers our state’s Fair Fund. We value the input provided by the commissioners who attend and evaluate our fair on an annual basis. Staff and fair participants recognize the many hours members dedicate promoting and maintaining the funding of Washington State Fairs.
