Thurston County Fair Returns with Youth Focus | Seattle News

Get ready for the Thurston County Fair, returning July 30th to August 2nd — a vibrant celebration of farming heritage and young talent! This isn’t just a fair; it’s where 4-H and FFA kids showcase months of hard work raising animals while learning real-world skills like business, leadership, and responsibility. The Youth Market Sale alone has generated over $1 million in sales in five years, connecting community support with the future of agriculture. Commissioner Wayne Fournier’s $100 selfie prize with his daughter’s sheep, Potato, adds a personal, fun twist. With nearly 4,000 exhibits and hundreds of animals, plus a chance to help name the new mascot, this is your chance to witness the heart, hustle, and humor of rural life — and maybe even win a prize while you’re at it.
