Editor’s Note

Time for the Annual Showcase of Southwest Washington For more than a century one week during the summer has been reserved for the revelry and pageantry of the Southwest Washington Fair.

The event represents many things for many people.

It’s a carnival. It’s a venue for top entertainers. It’s a place where memories are formed that last many lifetimes.

Above all, though, the Southwest Washington Fair is a showcase of all that’s wonderful about this beautiful swath of the Evergreen State.

Wander the grounds and you’re likely to find something to satisfy all your senses.

The midway sparkles and hums with the quintessential sounds and sights of American carnival life, the smell of elephant ears and other fairtime food favorites always carried by a light summer breeze.

Barns burst with livestock and poultry raised by the youth of the greater Lewis County area, the living results

of hard work and a way of life that has remained stubbornly similar to yesteryears.

At the Southwest Washington Fair, you’ll find staples of Americana right alongside unique local offerings such as the annual Diaper Derby, an event that features dozens of chubby-cheeked, adorable crawlers all unknowingly working to win a grand prize for their parents.

You’ll find local performers picking away at guitars or belting out popular tunes on stages tucked throughout the fairgrounds.

Children will be amazed and entertained by Friendlyville, an area dedicated to the wonderment and smiles of the youngest attendees.

Take a look through the comprehensive calendar beginning on page 14.

Chart your course through a staple of living in Southwest Washington, knowing all the while you’ll form memories through a tradition that has lasted more than a century.

Demolition Derby Rolls Around Twice at 2015 Southwest Washington Fair Decadent Destruction: Derby Remains as Popular as Ever With Fairgoers

By Dameon Pesanti dpesanti@chronline.com

The demolition derby is a night when argonautic motorheads get behind the wheel, hit the gas and send 3,000 pounds of four-wheeled American steel roaring around a muddy track and headlong into the competition.

The engines are throaty, the crashes are loud and the flames are very real.

Many will enter but only one will drive away with the grand prize. The rest of the competition will likely be towed off with only their fenders to straighten and their pride to heal as they anticipate another year of competition.

Demolition derbies are as iconic to American fairs as funnel cake, bull riding and 4-H pigs. But the cars so perfect for the sport, the big, heavy, older U.S.-made cars, are getting harder and harder to find as manufacturers have

long switched to lighter, more compact designs.

The enthusiasts who love the sport spend weeks on end searching old junk yards and combing the classified ads for the perfect old rig at an affordable price.

Although they may spend less than $900, drivers often spend more than $1,000 beefing up the engine and reinforcing the frame.

Even though smashing them is the point, car owners give their rigs extra bulk to increase their odds of rolling into the next competition.

Every car is stripped to the bare minimum with their doors welded shut and huge steel beams are bolted to the sides.

As a finishing touch most cars are given a splashy and loud paint job.

There will be two different occasions to check out the demolition derby at the Southwest Washington Fair.

On Tuesday, Aug. 18, there’s a show The smoke billows from the final three cars in the finale of the Demolition Derby on Aug. 12, 2014, at starting at 7 p.m. the Southwest Washington Fair in Chehalis.

Aaron Tippin Serenades the Working Man Chart-Topping Country Music Icon: Takes Stage Wednesday

By Dameon Pesanti dpesanti@chronline.com

Aaron Tippin, a country musician many considered to be the voice of the blue collar worker, will bring his cache of country hits to the Southwest Washington Fair as this year’s headlining act.

Tippin rose to fame in 1990 with his hit single “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.” The track became popular with soldiers during the Gulf War conflict and cemented Tippin’s spot in the 1990s country music scene.

Tippin’s collection of 14 albums has resonated with the American working class, including “There Ain’t Nothing Wrong With the Radio” and “That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You,” among others.

Among his most famous ballads to the blue collar community was “Working Man’s Ph.D.” which cemented his role in the blue collar America with lyrics like “From driving a nail to driving a truck, As a matter of fact I’d like to set things straight, A few more people should be pullin’ their weight, If you wanna cram course in reality, You get yourself a working man’s Ph.D.” Tippin was born in Florida, but he was raised on a farm in South Carolina. He spent the 70s singing and performing in local bars. He later moved to Nashville where he became a writer. Later he competed on a country television station’s talent contest in 1986 and landed a song publishing contract. He wrote several songs for David Ball, Mark Collie and Charley Pride by day and worked at an aluminum plant at night.

Tippin stands in line of a long lineage of country music singers embracing a southern twang in his bari Courtesy photos tone voice.

The Secret’s Out; The Romantics Bring New Wave to Lewis County Pop and Rock: '80s Rockers to Play Saloon Stage Thursday Night

By Dameon Pesanti dpesanti@chronline.com

The bouncy, upbeat power pop band that carried an entire generation through the fluttery first stages of a relationship and into the slow, melodic downtime of a breakup will perform at the Southwest Washington Fair and carry us through the emotions one more time.

The Romantics, a band named in homage of the day they played their first show (Valentine’s Day) traces its roots to 1976 Detroit. The Romantics were heavily influenced by the British Invasion in their song writing and lyric structure. However, the band really was inspired by the 1950s and 1960s American guitar-heavy rock-n-roll. They also borrowed from the electro synth pop scene, so popular in the late 70s and early 80s, to create their instrumental tracks. However, some of their most famous songs fell more into a tradi-

No. 2 in Australia. But their presence on the American music scene was cemented when “Talking in Your Sleep” was released.

Unfortunately, just as the band was soaring high in the mid 80s, a lawsuit with their management halted their recording and their fame ebbed. Unable to work on new material, the band was marginalized into small venues and recycling old material. But after winning the suit in the mid 90s, The Romantics re-entered the limelight when they released a handful of new albums.

The band continues to perform to this day with all but one of their original members. They will play on Thursday, Courtesy photos Aug. 20, at 8 p.m. on the Saloon Stage.

These guys may be from Georgia, but don’t call them southern gentlemen.

The Georgia Satellites bring with them all the twang and grittiness of Southern rock akin to the sounds of Foghat, Molly Hatchet and Black Oak Arkansas.

Most famous for “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” and “Hippy Hippy Shake,” The Georgia Satellites stood atop the apex of their fame from the late 80s in the early 90s.

An incarnation of the band formed in 1980 and became a veteran of the small, smoky music bars around the South. Btut with a 1985 reshuffling of members and one demo tape it wasn’t long before they rocketed into stardom.

The music coming out of the Southern-fried amplifiers stood in stark contrast to the squeaky clean Reagan-era tunes produced by Kenny Rogers and Barbra Streisand and the new wave experiments by Billy Joel and Blondie, and the public latched on.

“Keep Your Hands to Yourself” came out in 1986 and quickly climbed to No. 2 on the U.S. Rock Charts and the Top 100.

The album it was on also went to No. 5

on the U.S. Top 200. The Georgia Satellites quickly put Atlanta on the music map and made Southern Rock relevant again. Perhaps it was a case of too much too fast for the American music market, but the second and third albums failed to garnish as much success as their debut, despite being critically acclaimed.

The band broke up briefly in the early 90s after an amicable split when one of the members decided to pursue a solo career. However, they came back together to produce another album in 1997. Since then, at least one of the original members has kept the group together and continued to tour and perform around the country.

The Georgia Satellites will play on Friday, Aug. 21, at 8 p.m. on the Saloon Stage. The purchase of a Golden Circle ticket for $25 lets you sit within the first 10 to 20 rows, if purchased before Aug. 18. Admission to the fair is included with the purchase. The purchase of a fair ticket will allow fairgoers to see the music, but only from a distance.

For Many, It’s All About the Carnival Rides Butler Amusements returns to the Southwest Washington Fair this year with diverse offerings of rides and amusements for all ages.

For $23, a fairgoer can ride all day on any of them. The unlimited ride wristband must be purchased at the fair office to get the reduced price. Otherwise, the cost is $28 for an all-day ticket to unlimited fun on the rides.

The carnival will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It is operated from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, the final day of the fair.

Come out to the fair to see the full slate of possibilities, but here are a few of the hair-raising options as described by Butler Amusements.

Super Shot Drop Tower The world-class Super Shot Drop Tower is unlike any other ride on the midway. Twelve passengers are loaded into each circular passenger station.

Over-the-shoulder harnesses secure patrons while they are gently lifted up the 90-foot tower. Once the passenger station reaches the top, it is released in an accelerated freefall and riders experience g-force in excess of 3½ times normal.

Riders are then cushioned by a magnetic braking system stopping the station before it reaches the base of the tower. The Super Shot is an exciting spectacular feature on the Butler midway.

Giant Wheel A towering tradition of Butler Amusements, the majestic Giant Wheel dominates the midway day and night, offering patrons a sweeping view from

a height of nearly 100 feet. Passengers are seated in separate gondolas and then whisked smoothly over the top and down again, reminiscent of the Ferris wheel. The Giant Wheel is a pleasant ride for the entire family.

Ring of Fire Love of the midway is a burnin’ thing, and in this case, it makes a fiery ring. On the Ring of Fire passengers are firmly se-

cured in their seats within a train of cars and are taken on a journey that circumnavigates the inside of a “ring of fire.”

The train pauses only once at the top before cascading down the track backwards! The Ring of Fire is a spectacular ride just for teens and adults.

Raptor The Raptor has a familiar look of the classic scrambler, but with an extra

special kick that multiplies the fun and excitement. Four arms are connected to seats in pods of three. Each pod of seats spin counterclockwise while the entire arm turns counterclockwise giving riders the feeling of being in the center of a crazy vortex. The Raptor has 18 seats each holding two adults per seat.

There She Is, Little Miss Friendly

By The Chronicle

She’s the living logo of the Southwest Washington Fair, and the youthful embodiment of everything it stands for. Most of all, she’s about being friendly.

The Little Miss Friendly competition is a pageant-like affair that takes place 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Aug. 18, on the South Stage as part of the fair’s opening ceremonies.

The lucky winner spends the remainder of the fair traveling the grounds and handing out stickers and good cheer to those she meets.

The fair runs Aug. 18-23.

The finalists are: • 10-year-old Rachel Gray, who lives in Chehalis and attends Olympic Elementary School. Her parents are Wayne and Pia Gray.

• Courtney Pinkerton is 9 years old.

The Chehalis girl goes to Olympic Elementary, and her parents are Jeff and Heather Pinkerton.

• Oakview Elementary student Kassandra Ritchey, of Centralia, is 10 years old.

Her parents are Keith and Kristina Ritchey.

• Nine-year-old Zoe Rone, of Centralia, attends Washington Elementary. Shane and Jodi Rone are her parents.

• Cameron Sheets is a 10-year-old from Chehalis. She attends Olympic Elementary, and her parents are Mark and Vikki Sheets.

The winner will attend all six days of the fair with her parents and participate in parades, promotions and events as the living logo.

Babies Race at Annual Diaper Derby Thursday Every team has a strategy to coax its diapered dragster. Some jingle keys, others flash binkies, and a few wave with giant smiles.

Last year, none were as effective as that of mom Kasi Walch.

She knew her son, 12-month-old Gavin, was wild about his food baggie, but since no edibles were allowed, she filled it with a rock and held it high.

Young Gavin won it all last year.

This year’s Diaper Derby is anyone’s race.

It begins noon Thursday, Aug. 20, on Stage South.

Don’t miss it.

By The Chronicle

It is probably the biggest race of their young lives, whether they know it or not.

Not unlike the summer Olympics, the KMNT Diaper Derby brings all the effort, tears and cheers of any great competition.

Dozens of onlookers cheer and the music roars while more than 30 babies go elbow to elbow on the white carpet.

The rules are simple — no babies over 14 months can race, only crawling is allowed, and no bottles or food can be used to lure the babies across the line.
