SPACE WILL BE ASSIGNED BY THE CHAIRMEN.
All entries accepted between July 1

CAMPING UPDATE:
Over the past several years, increases in the number
of campers on site during the Washington County
Fair and other electrical requirements needed to
support the increased traffic has taken its toll
on the electrical infrastructure. This year, the
Fair Committee had some difficult decisions to make
– eliminate the use of electricity by the
campers during the Fair or make the needed enhancements
to the infrastructure to support the growing traffic
and usage. In listening to the Fair attendees, in
order to keep up with the growing demand and provide
the same utilities as in past years, the Fair Committee
decided to move forward with the enhancements to
the electrical infrastructure supporting to the
livestock camping area.
In order to support these enhancements and the continued
maintenance and usage of the electricity during
the Fair, the daily rate for campers at the Fair
has increased to $20 per day ($100 for the week).
This rate is still significantly less than other
regional fairs and local camp grounds are charging
for similar service. All other past rules still
apply regarding limitations on appliance/air conditioning
usage.
Working together, we think these enhancements and
changes will continue to allow us to all have a
great experience at the Washington County Fair.
We look forward to seeing you all in August. |
