WAITSBURG – The deadline to enter items in Waitsburg’s 61st annual Livestock Show and Fair is just around the corner. Last year’s show boasted approximately 70 exhibitors, and the Applied Arts Building earned the coveted Washington State Fair Commission black-and-white ribbon as an outstanding display.
