The best part of summer is finally here, the Grays Harbor County Fair! Happening August 10-13, 2022 at the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds, it’s time to get your fill of fun fair foods, animals, carnival rides, homemade and commercial goods and talented performers galore.
Come out and support our local 4-Hers and FFA members, who have worked hard all year on their projects and are ready to show them off to you! From dancing and singing to homegrown produce and handknitted sweaters, you will be amazed at what our local Grays Harbor youth can do! Not to mention the animals they have lovingly raised and trained. See cows, llamas, sheep, horses, goats, pigs, rabbits and Guinea pigs. Learn from the kids themselves about their projects. Who knows, you just might discover a new hobby or decided your family needs a new animal addition.
