How would you like to have a hearty breakfast, meet your
County
Commissioners
and then enjoy a spectacular day at the county fair?
Well, you have the opportunity to do all three of those things this
Saturday at the annual Thurston County Fair Pancake Breakfast. The

breakfast is paid for and served by the

Commissioners

something we look forward to every year. It
gives us a chance to literally serve county residents and get to know them a
bit at the same time. It’s just
a good way for folks to get an early start on the day and to enjoy the fair
afterwards.”
