The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG – Waitsburg will hold its 62nd annual Livestock Show and Fair at the Waitsburg Fairgrounds on June 11 and 12.

This longstanding Waitsburg tradition – originally known as the Waitsburg Junior Livestock Show – was once open to only 4-H and FFA members, but now welcomes open class entries from youth and adults in Walla Walla County.

Exhibitors compete in a variety of animal categories as well as Herdsman, Fitting and Showing, Tractor Driving and Livestock Judging. The Applied Arts Building includes entries in Foods & Nutrition, Crafts, Clothing, Knitting/Crocheting, Educational Posters & Displays, Photography, and more.

Applied arts entries (most anything you can make) may be dropped off at the Lions Club building at the fairgrounds between noon and 6 p.m. on Wed., June 8. Animal entries must register by Fri., June 3. Call Sandra at 520-1774 for info.
