DAYTON-Columbia County Fair entry books are available at Waitsburg City Hall, Waitsburg Grocery and at businesses throughout Dayton.

Pavilion Supervisor Rose Engelbrite reminds citizens that the fair accepts entries from residents living within the Columbia County Health System hospital district, which includes Waitsburg and surrounding areas, not just Dayton and Columbia County.

"I don't think people always realize that," Engelbrite said.

Open class entries will be accepted on Sept. 3 from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and floral entries will be accepted on Sept. 5 from 7-9 p.m.

There are many classes with both youth and adult open classes that are open to anyone.

"We have many, many classes including grains, canning and preserving, quilts, photography, woodworking and much more. We really want people to enter. We're hoping for a really big year this year," Engelbrite said.

Anyone with questions about entries can contact Engelbrite at (509) 386-7348.
