Greeting's from the fair office, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

It's almost February and that means its almost time for the Valentine’s Diamond Dinner! It will be Saturday, February 13 at the Skamokawa Grange Hall. Doors open at 5:30 and dinner will start being served at 6. You can purchase tickets from any fair board member or the Bank of Pacific, the cost again this year is $25. The drawing prize will be a diamond necklace donated by Mike Mouliot.

Also, on February 6 we will have the monthly Flea Market. If you haven't stopped by you should. There are lots of treasures to be found. Some of the items you can find there are: Homemade goodies, horse tack, crocheted items, hand made quilts and lots of odds and ends. If you would like to have a table at the flea market call the office and I will get back to you. (360)795-3480.

Due to a wet arena we had to cancel the Winter Silver Buckle Series. We will still be having the Summer Series; those dates are June 25, July 23 and August 20.

In March we will have a new event. The St. Paddy's Day Carnival. It will be a fun filled carnival for the kids. The date for this event is March 17. Watch for more information as it gets closer. Also in March mark your calendars for Easter Bingo on the 25th.

The Fair Board will be picking a fair theme at the February meeting. Anyone interested in submitting can email it to the fair, or call the office.

A new event the fair will be sponsering this year is the "Challenge of Champions." I am working on dates so keep watching for more information.

Hope to see everyone at fair events; have a great week.
