The Clallam County Fair, held on the fairgrounds in Port Angeles, finished out its 104th year Sunday.

The theme for this year’s fair was “Beelieve in the Magic of the Fair.”

Kicking off on Thursday, Aug. 14, the event featured carnival rides by Ranier Amusements, animals, food, music and more. A rodeo took place on Friday and Saturday and a logging show was held on Saturday. The four-day event closed out Sunday with a demolition derby.

According to fair officials, 4-H and FFA participation was the highest it’s been in 10 years, with some categories turning away entries for lack of space. Upgrades made this year and funded by a USDA grant included a renovated Dog Barn with a new roof, better ventilation, and safer kennels.
