From the Board of County Commissioners

W

elcome to the 2017 Kittitas County Fair!

Whether you’re a visitor, a newcomer, or a long-time resident you’re sure to find something at the Fair that is definitely worth seeing and doing.

The Kittitas County Fair is THE PLACE to be this Labor Day Weekend. We’ve got performances every day showcasing amazing talent that will entertain and amaze you. For those who are young and young at heart, exhilarating and heart pumping carnival rides await. If you’re looking for something a little slowerpaced, take some time to walk through the livestock barns and the exhibits and admire the hard work of our local 4H club members and the handiwork of our local citizens. Talent is alive and well in Kittitas County and is on display for all of us at this year’s Fair.

After all that fun, you’re sure to work up an appetite.

Don’t worry, our food vendors have got you covered with more choices that you can imagine. Fill up with traditional country fare, or try something new.

And while you’re here, you won’t want to miss the world-class action at one of the top ten rodeos in the nation – the World Famous Ellensburg Rodeo. Get yourself one of the hottest tickets of the summer to see some of the best cowboys in the business compete for top honors in what many consider to be the finest rodeo arena in the nation.

Tickets are on sale at the Western Village near the north entrance to the Fair.

If you see a Fair Board or Rodeo Board member

or any of our numerous volunteers while you’re having fun, take a moment to thank them. Our Fair and Rodeo Board work and plan all year long to bring us this amazing spectacle every Labor Day Weekend. It wouldn’t be possible without their efforts and the efforts of all the other volunteers.

It’s worth your time to say thanks, and it will mean a lot to them too.

Have a great time at this year’s Kittitas County Fair and World Famous Ellensburg Rodeo. I look forward to seeing you here!

elcome to the 2017 Kittitas County Fair.

There really is nothing quite like watching as a child grows, learns, applies and experiences all of the things that come together at a county fair. From 4-H and the FFA to cooking and sewing, art exhibits, games, science, music, magicians, the carnival and the rodeo. You can stand in one place and nearly see it all on every little face as they move from one adventure to the next.

Though these events may appear solely recreational, they are actually designed to expose our

youth to the reality and wonders of life in an agricultural community.

It provides education, training and experience that build self confidence, while teaching the importance of team and family (with just a touch of competition). All of these events and programs work to complement the education they receive in school and at home.

We, the directors, staff and volunteers believe that a community’s value is measured by what it does for its youth. So please come and joins us as we work to provide ours and yours with the best experience we can provide.

Admissions

From the Rodeo Welcome Ellensburg Rodeo fans!

What began as a small Wild West show in 1923 has grown into one of the world’s top 10 rodeos, and in our opinion the best rodeo in the country.

The Ellensburg Rodeo Board of Directors along with our volunteer organizations the Top Hands, the Ellensburg Rodeo Posse, and many others have worked hard all year to provide you with four days of one of the most unique western entertainment experiences in the country.

Our four-day rodeo kicks off Friday night Sept. 1 with our Patriot Night event; please join us in this special performance honoring our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for us every day.

Saturday Sept. 2 begins

with one of the “horsiest” parades around, followed by the second performance of the Ellensburg Rodeo. Then, Saturday night don’t miss the explosive energy of Xtreme Bulls, where the top bull riders in the country will compete for their portion of $100,000!

Sunday morning Sept. 3 please join us for Cowboy Church; this service is open to the public and is located in the Ellensburg Rodeo Arena in section KK near the Gold Buckle Room. Wear your pink all day to show your support for the cure for breast cancer at the third performance of the Ellensburg Rodeo. Over the past 12 years the Ellensburg

Rodeo is very proud, through our Tough Enough to Wear Pink performances to have donated almost $100,000. The monies donated stay right here in Kittitas County to assist women in screening for breast cancer.

Attend the Ellensburg Rodeo Posse Show at 6:30 p.m.

Labor Day, Monday Sept. 4 is the Grand Finale of our rodeo for 2017 featuring the top cowboys and cowgirls competing for top honors and a whole lot of money; for many of them Ellensburg will make or break their chances to compete in the PRCA finals Las Vegas in December.

As you enjoy the rich

heritage of the past, dancing with the Yakama Indians in the Friendship Dance prior to each performance; and as you watch our daily one of a kind world famous grand entry, we also are looking into the future to provide high energy entertainment such as Bull Fighters Only!

This year with your help, and the help of our sponsors and Gold Buckle members, the Ellensburg Rodeo will pay out in excess of $500,000 attracting the world’s best cowboys and cowgirls making this one of the highest paying rodeos in the world!

Thank you for making the Ellensburg Rodeo part of your Labor Day weekend!

Junior Livestock Auction If you go

Julia Moreno / Daily Record

Caleb Brashler, 16, shows his trust fund hog at the 2016 Livestock Auction. It sold for $6,000 and the money will be placed in the Kittitas County 4-H Endowment Trust Fund. The fund supports the entire county 4-H program.

T

he 2017 Junior Livestock Auction at the county fair this Labor Day weekend is a symbol of the culmination of a year of hard work for 4-H members.

The sale this year is set for 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1.

The event allows the youth to auction their project animals to the highest bidder and gain a return on their hard work and expenses in caring for their steers, goats, hogs, or lambs during most of the year.

Their hope, year after year is they’ll get a good per-pound price at the sale for animals they’ve raised following modern livestock market standards and have trained for show ring display.

Last year, the auction raised around $400,000 and sold about 240 animals. If

past sales are any indication, 4-Hers will likely get great support from a wide variety of family, friends, and businesses in and outside the community.

The event brings community together to support local youth, and buyers typically bid way above market prices.

While the regular commercial market price can be less than $1 a pound, 4-H and FFA animals can go for $2-$6 per pound, depending on the species sold.

Brad Haberman, chairman of the Junior Livestock Sale Committee, said he’s hoping for good participation this year.

“The more people we can get, the better chance we have at getting a higher price and all the participants can make more money,” he said.

He said the sale committee and more than 50 other volunteers make the sale a reality every year, knowing for some youth it can be the high-point of their 4-H and FFA experience for the year.

The first animal to be sold each year at the sale is one donated for the Kittitas County 4-H Endowment Trust Fund. All money from the sale goes into the fund, and the interest pays for ongoing costs related to the 4-H Club program through the county.

Buffalo Soldiers

T

he Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle are returning to the Kittitas County Fair this year, giving fair-goers a chance to experience history first hand.

The name Buffalo Soldiers was given to the African-American Frontier Village soldiers of the 10th calvary of Fort All weekend Leavenworth, Kansas by the Cheyenne Indians because of their “wooly hair,” courage and fighting skills.

The Buffalo Soldiers continued into the 1900s.

They fought in the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II and finally in the Korean War before the U.S. military was fully integrated.

The Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle honor the great heritage created by a select group of men who fought and died for their country in the Cavalry and Infantry during the late 1800s.

Visit their historic encampment near Frontier Village every day.

John Dunnigan

I

f Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor, and John Prine were joined together in some bizarre musical cloning experiment, the outcome would be John Dunnigan. This “offbeat” musician and entertainer took the backroads to Montana over three decades ago and never left. Today he performs throughout Montana and the

Northwest at different events. His original, often hilarious songs make you think, laugh, sing along, and raise your glass in a toast to life.

"I've been playing for a really, really long time,” he said. “This is all I've ever really done, play guitar and perform.”

In short, he can put a smile on your face.
