Umatilla County appoints Nicholas Kennedy to Fair Board, approves fair entertainment and service contracts
Summary
The board appointed Nicholas Kennedy to fill a Fair Board vacancy (order BCC2026-033) and approved contracts for Thursday-night entertainment and annual garbage/service for the fairgrounds, all by voice vote.
Umatilla County commissioners on July 1 appointed Nicholas (Nick) Kennedy to the Umatilla County Fair Board to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Robbie Curry and adopted order BCC2026‑033 to formalize the appointment.
The board also approved a contract for Thursday-night entertainment at the county fair and approved renewal of an annual garbage/service contract for the fairgrounds. Commissioners commended the fairgrounds crew and recognized the work involved in running fair operations.
Why it matters: The fair-board appointment fills a midterm vacancy so the board may maintain a full complement for fair oversight; the entertainment and service contracts enable the fair to proceed with scheduled programming and operations.
Board action: The motions to appoint Kennedy and to approve the contracts were made and approved by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contract documents and the new fair-board member will begin serving the remainder of the term.
