ABOUT THE PIERCE COUNTY FAIR

The Pierce County Fair is a cooperative effort of the Pierce County Government and the non-profit Pierce County Fair Association. Many community organizations, including Pierce County Extension, Pomona Grange, Pierce County F.F.A., Hill & Dale District Garden Clubs, and elected at-large members, form a working board of directors who organize and operate the fair each year.

The Pierce County Fair is held each year at beautiful Frontier Park, operated by the Pierce County Parks Department. This well-maintained public park allows the display of rural and urban exhibits while avoiding the "asphalt" jungles of other fairs.

The Pierce County Fair is held the second week of August each year, and is four days of fun, competition, and excitement.

Most of the exhibit buildings were erected with volunteer labor by many of the attending organizations and projects. These building are then turned over to the Pierce County Parks Department for yearly use and maintenance. So, although the Fair is only four days a year, the improvements to the park benefit county residents all year long.

The Pierce County Fair Association is a Washington State non-profit and is a member of the Washington State Fairs Association and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
