file3291304050811

The King County Fair is 153 years old. When you visit the fair this year, it will remind you of the fair you attended as a child. Carnival rides, games, fair food, exhibits, and animals will  bring the memories back. There will be two, free stages of entertainment ongoing through out the day.

Buckley native, Blake Larsen is going to preform Saturday, July 18. “I was thrilled to receive the invitation to play at the King County Fair again!,” Larsen wrote in an email to The Courier-Herald. “This is going to be a very fun and intimate evening. It will be just me and my guitar player. I want this show to feel like you came over to my house and we had a concert in the back yard. Informal and lots of fun!”

There are some great attractions this year at the Fair. Enjoy a fun zip line ride or jump in a giant bubble ball and play soccer. Take an up close look at the exhibit from the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. Don’t miss the animal fun. There is an FFA petting zoo, pig races, and Mutton Bustin’. Visit the 4-H animals.

2011 King County Fair

2011 King County Fair

During the mid 90’s there was one thing that Tyson Gamblin always looked forward too!  No it was not football or warm weather it was the King County Fair.  Tyson devoted his early summer doing yard work for neighbors to earn enough money to spend on the carnival rides and games at the King County Fair.  The King County Fair for him was his summer highlight.  The King County Fair has not been at the level it was during the 1990’s  and it took a few years hiatus a few years ago.

Well the Fair is Back! Art Gamblin Motors was excited to be part of the new 2011 King County Fair at the Enumclaw Expo Center. This years fair included a great concert lineup and all the games and rides that Tyson Gamblin loved to be part of when he was a kid.  Art Gamblin Motors brought down a great selection of vehicles for guest to look at which included the new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible.
