The Washington County Fair is just over two weeks away as the festivities are set to begin on Sunday, July 17th, at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Preparations for the fair have been underway for two months as crews have worked to get the grounds in shape.

Fair Board President John Wagner details the preparations that have taken place to get the fairgrounds ready. “Starting about mid-May, we started having work nights on Wednesday; the entire fair board comes in, and we start cleaning the buildings and installing upgrades. We also start prepping the grounds by mulching the trees and other grounds preparations to make sure it looks nice.”
