Summary
Public commenters and potential volunteers told the Wahkiakum County Fair Board they want to expand the holiday lights display to three weekends and increase volunteer support for next year.
Public commenters pressed the Wahkiakum County Fair Board to expand the holiday lights display and recruit more volunteers. John Lunke told the board he wants “more volunteers and more lights for next year” and asked the board to run the display for three weekends instead of two. Kay, who called the meeting to order, added that Vista Park appreciated the hay rides that ran through the display.
Several guests also introduced themselves as potential volunteers for Christmas‑lights efforts. Erin Hill and her husband, Zachari, expressed interest in volunteering; Phyllis West and Jim described their backgrounds and said they would help with the lights. Board members circulated the 2026 volunteer sign‑up sheet during the meeting and noted ongoing volunteer needs for multiple fair activities.
