Exhibitor Welcome Letters

Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days

The G.O.A.T. (The Greatest of All Time)

Welcome to the 158^th Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days. It’s time to come and show your animals, your talents, or your projects and enjoy the Fair again. This is the event that brings our community together for good times and lasting memories.

You as exhibitors are such a big part of our Fair. 4-H, FFA, Grange, and Open Class; we welcome and honor you all.

You might remember the Fair because you showed an animal or baked a pie. Maybe you came to the Fair with friends and family and rode some of the exciting carnival rides. Maybe you remember your favorite Fair food or a great concert or rodeo performance. Whatever the reason, the Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days is here again, and with your help, it will be the G.O.A.T. !!

We are starting the Fair off with a great Martina McBride concert on Wednesday night, followed by the always sold-out Demolition Derby on Thursday, and then three nights of PRCA rodeo.

I would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers who work to make this Fair such a wonderful experience for all of us. We couldn’t do it without you.

On behalf of the Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days Board of Directors, the Fair Manager and staff, and the Walla Walla Board of County Commissioners, I would like to welcome everyone to the celebration of the 158^th Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days. Enjoy your experience as an exhibitor and take some time to enjoy the Fair.

Board of Directors

Welcome to the 2024 Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you as an exhibitor to the 2024 Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days. We work hard every year to make improvements and provide a positive fair experience that all will enjoy and appreciate! In 2023 we had 5,445 competitive entries from 2,011 exhibitors and we look forward to even more this year!

This year’s fair theme is "The G.O.A.T." (The Greatest Of All Time). When the Board, Staff, marketing committee, and advertising team selected this theme, we felt strongly that it fit our Fair as we will be celebrating our 158th fair this year.

As the General Manager of the Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days, I am very proud to be leading the oldest fair in Washington state. It is easy to see why this Fair has been so successful over the years. We have so many volunteers that help us put our fair together and are truly grateful for all they do. There would be no way to produce the quality fair we do without their support! Our traditions and community support are unmatched.

The Board of County Commissioners, the Fair Board of Directors, our Superintendents, Volunteers, and Staff are excited to welcome you to another incredible Labor Day weekend celebrating 158 years of fairs. Make sure you come and enjoy “The G.O.A.T." because it will for sure create memories that will last a lifetime.

Sincerely,

Greg Lybeck CFE

We, the Board of County Commissioners, wish to encourage you to enter and participate in this year’s Fair and Frontier Days. It is you, the exhibitors, who play a huge role in keeping the residents of Walla Walla County and the surrounding areas coming back and continuing to support this worthwhile community event.

A BIG thank you to all the exhibitors, volunteers, Fair & Frontier Days Board of Directors, Frontier Days Foundation, and fairgrounds management and staff for all your hard work in making this a great, family friendly event. Without your contributions of time and talent, the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days would not be known in 2024 as “THE G.O.A.T”

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2024 Fair and Frontier Days!
