Clark County Fair Best Goes West

Celebrating 144 Years of Summer’s Best Party!

The Clark County Fair is the biggest summer event of the summer here, and will run Friday, August 3 through Sunday, August 12, 2012!  The Clark County Fair has been a family tradition since I was little ( although contrary to what my kids say, I was NOT at the first Clark County Fair!) and every year there is something new to enjoy.

This year’s theme is Summer’s Best Goes West and is an interactive exhibit that will take you back to the days of the Wild Wild West! “Wander into this simulation of a complete western town and you might just get caught in the cross fire of a bank robbery, gun fight – or worse yet, get tossed into our simulated jail cell for some great photo-ops! Kids will love the laser shooting gallery, mechanical roping horse and miniature donkey petting zoo. For the not so feint of heart, check out the Haunted Gold Mine presented by Scream at the Beach Productions.” 

There’s loads of free Grandstand Entertainment every day, with Big Air Moto X, Medieval Jousting, Barrel Racing, Demolition Derby, Truck Pull, Bull Riding, Tuff Trucks and Monster Trucks! There are also various stages and activity/entertainment spots throughout the  fairgrounds like Dock Dogs, Hypnotist, Hula Hoop Contests, Pirates Parrot Show and Super Science.

The SleepCountry Amphitheater will host the fair concerts, including Sara Evans, Creed, Chris Young, Sublime and the Texaco Country Showdown. The Texaco Country Showdown is a FREE concert on August 5th. “It’s the biggest country music talent search in the country, and the Washington State finals are happening during the Clark County Fair! If you are chomping at the bit to find out who is going to win this showdown and head off to the national finals in Tennessee for a chance to win $100,000 and national recognition as “Best New Act in Country”, then you better come to the Clark County Fair on August 5th”. 

Then, there’s the food, the rides, the games, the animals, the vendors, the crafts, the famous Clark County Dairy Womens Milkshakes…and more…
