The Washington County Fair Board unanimously accepted the final financial report for the fiscal year that closed June 30, 2025, after staff reported a $432,091.72 profit.

"I'm pleased to report that we made a profit of $432,091.72 for the 2024 financial year," said an unidentified meeting presenter (S2) during the meeting. Board members linked the result to the decision in prior years to run a 10‑day fair, which staff said had consistently returned profits since the change.

Board members then reviewed preliminary financials for fiscal year 2025–26 through Aug. 30, 2025. The presenter cautioned that most vendor invoices have been received and paid but that a few remain outstanding; she cited a large outstanding invoice from the sheriff's department totaling roughly $250,000 and said most remaining invoices were paid in September.

A motion to accept the FY2024 final report was made by Bill and seconded by Bob; a later motion to accept the FY2025–26 preliminary financials through Aug. 30 was made and seconded by board members and both motions were approved by voice vote (members in person and online answered "aye"). The transcript records the voice approvals but does not provide a roll‑call tally for all board seats.

Separately, the board approved a $5,000 donation to fund scholarships for 4‑H and FFA members tied to the upcoming Oregon Fairs Association convention. A motion to contribute $5,000 was made and seconded; the board voted in favor.

What happens next: staff said they will finalize any outstanding invoices and present complete, reconciled financials at the board's next meeting. The donation funds will be provided to the convention scholarship program as approved by the board.
