This is the OFFICIAL FAIR PREMIUM BOOK. SAVE IT! Please take a good
look at the book and you should find one or more categories that will
appeal to you. Some changes have been made in the fair this year, so
please check the schedule.
The Wallowa County Fair is a place where youth and adults can learn and
display their talents. The Fair also provides an opportunity for you to
come and meet people, make new friends and discuss happenings in the
county.
Any resident of Wallowa County may enter exhibits in Open Class compe-
tition in all divisions, with products that have been made or produced
since August of last year (except where noted). There are sections for
Junior Youth, Senior Youth, and Professional in each department with
Golden Awards for Senior Citizens. Members of 4-H and FFA have sepa-
rate divisions.
EXHIBITS WILL BE RELEASED 2:30-3:30 PM ON SATURDAY, THE LAST
DAY OF THE FAIR. IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH
THE OFFICE, EXHIBITS WILL BE DISPOSED OF AFTER THAT TIME.
