The Washington County Fair has been in existence for over 150 years. The Fair Association consists of 19 board members and approximately 300 volunteers. The Fair's mission is to provide a competitive environment for the agricultural youth of Washington County to exhibit their 4-H and FFA sponsored projects. Last year, we paid out over $40,000 in ribbon money and hosted the Livestock Premium Auction that paid over $160,000 to 130 of the Washington County Fair’s best youth livestock exhibits.

Fair Secretary Natalie Bartholomew said "In the midst of urban sprawl and our crazy fast-paced lives, it's great to know that the number of junior exhibits continues to grow each year. The Fair offers families the opportunity to see the products of a year's worth of hard work from our county's youth by strolling through the livestock barns and horticulture and youth buildings as well as enjoy some fun food and rides while they are at it."
