Competitors please set up in the City Square or on the blacktop between the square and fair building. Everything west of the square is reserved for the Craft Fair and everything east of the square is reserved for the tractor show. PLEASE help enforce that if you see other Competitors unknowingly doing that because I don't want anyone to have to move. Thanks

We have a SWAG BAG sponsor!

Thank you to Pacific Sanitation Services for SPONSORING our Swag Bags. This sponsor will be providing all of the goodies we give to our competitors for entering the competition. There was some extra cash donated towards this so the bags will be extra special this year!

Thank you for supporting the Wellington Fair BBQ.
