Fair Board approves new Farm Swap Summer Market for second weekend in June
Summary
The Wahkiakum County Fair Board voted to accept a two‑day Farm Swap Summer Market to be held the second weekend in June, including camping and overnight stalls for livestock. The motion, moved by Becky and seconded by Brian, carried at the March 11 meeting.
Becky, a Fair Board member, moved that the board accept Erinn Hill’s offer to chair a Farm Swap Summer Market to be held the second weekend in June; Brian seconded the motion and the board carried it.
Erinn Hill, a Fair Board member, described the event as a combination farmers’ market and individual livestock sales that could include camping and overnight stalls for animals, and noted regional demand because “there are no longer any auctions that allow horses in our region.” The board recorded the event as a two‑day market with on‑site camping and stalls available for livestock.
The motion was recorded as carried without a roll‑call tally noted in the minutes. The approval sets the new event on the Fair calendar and assigns board leadership responsibility to Erinn Hill; the board did not at the meeting specify a budget or additional staffing for the event.
