We ask, in advance, for your patience and understanding. We’ve had to make a lot of changes based on floor space available and number of employees able to assist us this year while making sure to be good stewards of our funds to guarantee a 2022 Interstate Fair that is even bigger and better than our accomplishment this year. Again, thank you! Below is a list of this year’s changes to the Crafts Department. We’ll see you in September!

As one of Spokane’s largest annual events, the Interstate Fair strives to be a place where one can visit the past, explore the future, and enjoy the wonders of the present in a single location by:

• Promoting public education related to our agricultural heritage; • Serving as a showcase of the talents of our community by providing a means of education, exhibit, and competition; • Promoting family-oriented entertainment and activities; • Providing superior customer service and an enjoyable experience; • Recognizing the vast cultural diversity of our participants and visitors; • Providing commercial opportunities that showcase information and new products related to agriculture, outdoor living, and

other local interests; • Being innovative and creative in planning and growth in a secure and fiscally responsible way; and • Providing a safe and friendly environment.

On behalf of the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center Advisory Board, I would like to thank you for being a part of the 2021 Spokane County Interstate Fair. What a roller coaster the last year has been! With COVID, we were able to offer a modified virtual competition for many traditional fair departments in 2020 and we want to thank those that participated in last year’s event. In 2019, we also welcomed 1,850 exhibitors showcasing over 14,500 exhibits and we hope that this year’s competitive exhibit program will also shine brightly. We consider it a privilege to showcase the talents of our community through the competitive exhibits program. We are very excited for the return of Grandstand Events this year including the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo on September 10-11 and two nights of concerts/events including Billy Currington (September 14) and Vince Neil of Motley Crue (September 15). The arena will then transform for the final weekend of motorsports which will include Truck and Tractor Pulls (September 17) and two nights of Demolition Derby (September 18-19). I want to extend our heart-felt thanks to the volunteers, staff, and community groups who work tirelessly each year to make the Fair a memorable experience for the whole family. We encourage you to return to the Interstate Fair to view your handiwork on display (hopefully with a special rosette attached) and to enjoy the rest of the experience including the food, rides, vendors, animals, and entertainment. From all of us, good luck on your entry and thank you for your continued support of the Spokane County Interstate Fair…we’ll see you in September!

Jeff Sevigney Advisory Board Chair
