The Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days is please to honor Walla Walla Electric as our Distinguished Sponsor for 2024. Founded in 1974 by Everett Knutson in his garage, Walla Walla Electric has grown significantly from its humble beginnings, expanding its workforce from 6 employees to nearly 40 today.
Specializing in electrical services for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, Walla Walla Electric has evolved into an employee-owned entity following Everett Knutson's gracious transfer of ownership upon his retirement.
Under the current leadership of President / CEO Charlie Barron, Walla Walla Electric continues to build upon what they refer to as "the most precious commodity they can offer, their time, toward volunteering for their communities."
Their longstanding support has greatly benefitted the Walla Walla Fairgrounds and Events Center. Their contributions include repairs and improvements to areas throughout the Fairgrounds to substantial projects such as installing the electrical and lighting systems of the P1FCU Arena Deck with both donated materials and labor. Through their unwavering commitment, Walla Walla Electric contributes to fostering a secure and hospitable environment at the Fairgrounds.
