The Clallam County Fair opens its gates at 8 a.m. today to the traditional sights and sounds of 4-H animal competitions.
It closes its 81st annual run on Sunday with the traditional sights and sounds of crunching metal in the popular Demolition Derby.
In between, the fair features dancers, jugglers, musicians, a hypnotist, myriad exhibits, a rodeo and more.
And don’t forget the carnival midway brought to the fairgrounds by Haworth Family Shows of Vancouver, Wash. The midway is open daily until 11 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday.
