FAIR BY THE DECADE

Umatilla
County Fair.
T
he Umatilla
County Fair
stretched into its
new home at the Eastern
Oregon Trade and Event
Center in 2017, ending
decades of occupancy
at the fairgrounds near
downtown Hermiston.
The new facilities
offer not only more
space, but newer build-
ings and amenities.
The Umatilla County
Board of Commission-
ers voted Monday to
give Hermiston own-
ership and control of
EOTEC, and the fair
will continue on as ten-
ants each year.
Here’s a look back
at the fair over the
decades, going back 10
years at a time.
