2005 King County Fair: Good clean fun at a price you can afford

2005 Archived News

Looking for family friendly fun without a big price tag? This might be music to your ears. All the performances at the King County Fair are free with the price of admission. There will be live entertainment on three different stages every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The fair runs July 20-24 at the King County Fairgrounds in Enumclaw.

"This is a great entertainment opportunity," said Sharon Roberts, manager of the King County Fair. "We’re bringing in top-notch groups and entertainers to offer an array of musical styles for the whole family. Best of all, the entertainment is free with the price of admission to the fair. You can stay as long as you like and catch as many acts are you like. With the big ticket prices other venues charge, this is really a great value!"

Here are some of the performers that will be featured at the fair:

Fiddler-singer Rani Arbo-Acoustic Guitar Magazine dubbed her "the Greta Garbo of folk music." With her new band “daisy mayhem,” Arbo plays the fair Wednesday, July 20, 2005.

Tacoma country singer turned Nashville recording star Jonathan Harris plays Friday, July 22, 2005. Harris has opened for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Merle Haggard, and the Charlie Daniels Band.

Local favorite the Beatniks will perform the music of the 60's & 70's (and 80's, too); on Thursday, July 21, 2005.
Plus you’ll still see everything you love about the oldest county fair west of the Mississippi -- carnival rides, farm animals, logging shows, blue-ribbon competitions, pig races, kids tractor pulls, a BMX stunt bike show and, of course, hot buttered scones with jelly.
