Owned and operated by the volunteers of the Washington County Pomona Grange, the Washington County Fair, a non-profit organization, has been a great New England tradition for the past 50 years! The Fair is Rhode Island's largest agricultural event. One of the biggest draws to the Fair is today's Country Music Stars!
The Fair runs for five days (Wednesday - Sunday), taking place August 14 - 18, 2019. Admission includes access to all daily concerts, special acts and events, the giant midway and kiddy land area (all ride tickets and games separate), all agricultural events and shows, exhibits and displays, tractor and horse pulls, the farm museum, and much, much more!
The Fair features the Main Stage pine grove where you can relax and enjoy some of music's hottest acts. The Midway is full of the rides you look forward too every year, as well as some new additions! Also, for the second year, the Midway will feature New England's largest traveling roller coaster! Bring the entire family for five full days of FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT!

![While the fair may be over, the fundraising efforts at the fair will go on to support the lives of young patients at #HasbroChildrensHospital! The Washington County Fair and @RockwellAmusements partnered with patrons and vendors - and this community came together to raise $26,000! Unbelievable support from you all, thank you so much!
This year marks the first collaboration between the WCF and Rockwell Amusements, as they joined forces to support Hasbro Children's Hospital. In addition to the WCF and RA efforts, visitors had the opportunity to contribute to the fundraiser through more than 25 fair vendors. In partnership with the fundraiser, these vendors participated in the food booth challenge named, “Battle of the Fair,” resulting in $9,895.82 in donations!
The Hope Valley Fire Department booth won the friendly vendor competition by raising $2,465 at their booth. The generosity continued right through the tug-of-war competition, with the winners of the competition donating their $600 winnings to Hasbro Children’s Hospital!
To complete the program, co-chairman’s of the WCF, Kate Fish and Roxanne Nelson, reached into
their own pockets to contribute a combined $111.18 to bring the grand total of the fundraising efforts for Hasbro Children’s Hospital to an even $26,000!
Roxanne Nelson, Co-Chairman of the Washington County Fair, commented, ”We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Rockwell Amusements on this fundraiser for Hasbro. The fair has been focused on giving back to our community, local 4H and FFA clubs since its inception [sic]. The decision was unanimous when Harold Fera of Rockwell Amusements approached the fair committee on his proposed partnership with Hasbro. Knowing the mission of Hasbro is to provide top ranked pediatric care to the children of Rhode Island and beyond, the entire committee was in favor. Almost everyone in our community knows someone who has been treated at Hasbro, so we are proud to have supported and served our community this year. I'd like to thank all who were involved, especially the patrons, for making this fundraiser a major success."](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5728d0b507eaa0b3080eec44/5728f7cd4d088e7da0c5b6d7/5b8c1c17577270d729364d0b/1535908902804/)
