Washington County Open Class exhibits are “Open to the World!” Exhibitors do not have to be Washington County residents.
All categories will have three (3) age groups: Children 11 years and under, Youth 12-18 years and Adult 19 years and over.
Open class entries for the exhibit hall shall be made at the north end of the exhibit hall on Saturday, June 15 from 8:30 a.m.- noon for Art, Canning, Family Stitchery & Crafts, Photography, Scrapbooking and Community Service Groups. Monday, June 17 from 8:30 a.m.- noon, entries for Baking, Farm Products, Floriculture, Garden Products, and Gourds will be accepted. No early or late entries will be accepted. All exhibits must remain in the exhibit hall until 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 23 and must be removed by 2:00 p.m. that day. Premiums are paid at that time.
All articles competing for premiums must possess more than ordinary merit, otherwise no premiums will be awarded.
Unless there are two or more exhibitors in each open class exhibit, it shall be considered that a fist place ribbon will be given and second place money will be paid, unless the exhibit is declared “Best of Show.” In that case, first place money will be paid. The same person cannot be competing with him/herself and receive first, second, etc. premium monies, but will receive only the highest premium.
Any item that fits in a listed class may not show in “Other.”
Situations not covered by the mentioned rules will be at the discretion of the superintendents and their committees. All judges decisions are final.
It’s time again for the Brick Street Festival, presented by Mosier Family Chiropractic. The festival will be Saturday, June 8, 5-8 p.m. The physical location is 301 and 304 E. Market St., Salem.
This is the fourth year that Dr. Moser Chris Moser and his wife Ellen have presented this event.
There will be live music, food trucks, bouncy house, craft booths and dancing in the street. The live music will be provided by The DooWop All Stars, a male group specializing in music from the 50’s and 60’s.
All profits from the festival go to buy approximately 1,200 to 1,500 hygiene gift bags for student at all three middle schools in Washington County. These bags typically provide tooth brushes, tooth paste, shampoo, body wash and general hygiene products.
Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies held their quarterly Drive-Thru Drug Drop / Food Drive on Saturday, May 11.
They collected and incinerated 31 pounds of prescription medications, bringing the total amount of collected prescription medications to 1,062 pounds since the start of the program in the fall of 2019.
The department also collected 314 pounds of non-perishable food items, which were donated to the Washington County Food Bank. HUNGER KNOWS NO SEASON!
Sheriff Miller would like to thank everyone who dropped off prescription medications to be safely disposed of and say a special thank you to everyone who donated food for our local food bank.
Thank you to Matt Hein, who runs this important program for the sheriff’s department and to his helpers, Deputy Hailee Lopotosky, Deputy Tory Hildreth and Trenton Miller, who also helped with this event.
