Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA - 08/27/2018 - On behalf of the Kittitas County Sheriff, Fair Board, Rodeo Board and the Event Center, we would like to inform the Public that the Annual Kittitas County Fair and Rodeo is on schedule.
Sometimes it's hard to make sense of all the information we see and hear, especially with today's technology. Even the clearest messages can get lost in the shadow of the most recent tweet or post. The work being done by the county to address potential air quality impacts on events in the community is just part of the ongoing process to insure we have plans in place to address all hazard types, so we are not caught off guard in the event of an emergency. The publication of this planning process was not intended to imply, in any way, that the Fair or Rodeo is being canceled due to smoke. In fact, if you noticed, it is a bright clear day and the forecast through Labor Day is the same, warm and clear. So take comfort in knowing the County Officials are working with the Fair and Rodeo Boards to insure that, if we are faced with disasters or emergencies, we have a plan to facilitate our events and protect public safety. So keep exercising those first amendment rights and we hope to see you and your family at the Kittitas County Fair and Rodeo.
