Adopt a Flower Bed

Here’s your chance to get your fingers dirty while beautifying the fairgrounds for the 2010 fair season.

The Thurston County Fair has numerous flower beds looking for volunteers to help keep them looking their best.  During Fair Week, the flower beds lend a touch of color and beauty to the Fair Week experience.

If you are interested, there is more information below on where the flower beds are located, which ones are available for loving, volunteer care, and how to contact us if you wish to sign up.

Adopt a Carousel Horse

This year’s fair mascot is Firefly, the Carousel Horse. Anyone can adopt a plywood carousel horse, paint it as you wish, and it will be placed on the fairgrounds.

It will cost $20 to adopt a horse – the cost of the plywood, a 4’ post, and labor involved in cutting out the horses. If you want a 6’ post it would cost $25. Spots where horses can be put are mapped out (there are 24 of them) and you can select your location at the time you pay. First come – first served!

If you're interested in this project please stop in at the Thurston County Fair office to place your order or call the Fair Office @ 360-786-5453 to place your order over the phone.
