Each year, more than 1,000 children and youth participate in the Washington County Fair, showing livestock, exhibiting small animals and submitting entries for many categories, such as photography, sewing, canned food, vegetables and crafts.

Children from western Washington County compete as members of local high school FFA chapters, as members of 4H Clubs or on their own as individuals. The county fair provides these children with the opportunity to show the fruits of their hard work throughout the year.

Fair officials say participation increases each year and they expect that trend will hold true for the 2017 county fair.
