Fair Magazine publisher’s welcome

Dear Readers and Fairgoers, is edition of our 2023 Northwest Washington Fair

For over 100 years, the Lynden Tribune has proudly covered and reported on the Northwest Washington Fair.

I very much remember many, many years ago tagging along with my father Julian when members of the local business community volunteered their evenings painting and sprucing up the inside of the fair buildings along Front Street.

I will never forget the chuckles I received when I sat on one of the freshly painted benches.

Magazine is a celebration of this outstanding 10-day Whatcom County event hosted right here in our backyard.

It takes the dedicated work of our entire Lynden Tribune & Print Co. sta to produce this award-winning magazine which is done in its entirety at our Lynden plant. From the planning, writing, selling ads, proo ng, to the graphic design, printing and binding, the magazine is one of our proudest undertakings.

I would like to personally thank the business community for their amazing advertising support that allows us to publish a magazine of this quality. And to our faithful readers, thank you for your continued support.

I would be remiss not to give a special shout out to Fair Manager Selena Burgess and her sta . ank you for working with the Tribune team to make the 2023 Northwest Washington Fair magazine a valuable and informative publication for the community.

Here’s to a wonderful and safe 2023 Northwest Washington Fair.

And to all the volunteers who help make it run smoothly, thank you. Respectfully,

Michael D. Lewis Publisher
