The gates to the oldest county fair west of the Mississippi open on Thursday, July 14 with the 154th edition of the King County Fair over four days at the Enumclaw Expo Center.
The hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to midnight on Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
“The King County Fair is a time-honored tradition that promotes agriculture in King County,” said Metropolitan King County Council Vice Chair Reagan Dunn, whose district includes the King County Fairgrounds, in a media release. “I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the fair.”
“We learned a lot from last year’s fair, and this year we believe we’re providing both the entertainment people want while continuing to promote agriculture in King County. A number of regional 4-H organizations are participating this year at the fair including the Barn Buddies from Renton, Issaquah, and Maple Valley that show horses,” said Scott Gray, General Manager Enumclaw Expo and Events Center. “Without a doubt the King County Fair has to be the best value entertainment event this year. Where else for a $7 ticket can you see concerts, animals, and have access to good food and great rides?”
Attractions include pig racing, truck pulls, amusement rides, Mutton Bustin’, the K9 Kings Flying Dog Show, rock climbing, Eric Haines Comedy Rocket, paintball, trampolines, exhibits and more.
General admission is $7 a ticket with pre-sale tickets available at area Safeway Stores. Children under age 5 can enter in for free each day while members of the military and seniors over the age of 65 get the discounted price of $5 per day.
The Enumclaw Expo Center is at 45224 284th Ave. SE. For more information, go to kingcofair.com/.
