The Clallam County Fair Advisory Board meeting on March 26, 2025, highlighted several key developments that promise to enhance community engagement and support for the upcoming fair. Among the most notable announcements was the confirmation of sponsorships for the fair, including the return of Coastal as a sponsor and the County Public Utility District's commitment to provide goodie bags for children attending the event.

The board reported receiving $71,432.97 from the Washington State Department of Agriculture's annual fair fund allocation, a slight decrease from the previous year. Despite this reduction, board members expressed optimism about the funding, emphasizing its importance in supporting fair activities and community outreach.

The meeting also showcased the success of the recent KOMP Home and Lifestyle Show, where board members distributed approximately 300 promotional postcards and vendor applications. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, particularly regarding this year's fair theme and logo, which many found appealing. The board noted that the fair's scone booth continues to receive high praise, with visitors claiming it offers the best scones compared to other fairs.

In addition to fair preparations, the board discussed upcoming community events, including the Master Gardeners graduation ceremony and the K1P Easter egg hunt, which are expected to foster community spirit and participation. The fair royalty court also reported on their involvement in local events, highlighting their role in promoting the fair and engaging with residents.

As the fair approaches, the board is focused on ensuring a successful event that not only celebrates local culture but also strengthens community ties. The next steps involve finalizing sponsorships and continuing outreach efforts to dispel rumors about the fair's future, assuring residents that the event will continue to thrive in the years to come.
