There are only two more days of fun for the whole herd at the Thurston County Fair before it closes out another year, but there is still a ton of friends, food and fun to be had on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at the fair.
For more information about the fair’s Saturday and Sunday events and other fair entertainment, go to www.ThurstonCountyFair.org and click on “Daily Events Calendar.”
Sunday, Aug. 3
Another great year for the Thurston County Fair will come to a close Sunday, August 3, with legendary Christian rocker Bryan Duncan featured in the annual KACS 90.5 FM Sunday Concert at 3 p.m. on the Main Stage. Sunday also features the 4-H Equine Western Games at 8 a.m., and the new Rescue Pet Round Up event where furry friends tall to small will be on parade and available to adopt starting at 10 a.m. at the Hicks Lake Barn.
Sunday also features the final Dessert of the Day contest with cupcakes on the menu. Don’t let their small size fool you—it will be a cupcake cage match where only the scrumptious survive. Bring your cupcake contest entries between noon to 2 p.m. to the Thurston Expo Center and get free admission to the fair on Sunday. All entries must include the recipe with contestant’s name, address, and phone number. Final judging begins at 4 p.m. Check the 2014 Exhibitor’s Guide for all of the Dessert of the Day contest rules atwww.ThurstonCountyFair.org/exhibitor_guide.htm.
The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 3. (Complete August 3 schedule below.)
