Submitted by Thurston County Board of Commissioners
Each year the children (up to age 18) get to select the mascot for Thurston County Fair two years out. Using official ballots and a real voting machine gratis of the Thurston County Auditor’s Office, children get to look at the picture and the “plank” for each candidate and then vote. There is a running tally posted each day to keep everyone watching to see who will win!
The candidates this year are:
- Gary Geoduck
- Henrietta Hen
- Douglas Fir
- Marty Mushroom
Take your children to the voting booth in the Deck Building and help out your candidate! The voting booth is open from 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
