The Washington State Fair Foundation Hosts The Farm at SillyVille Ground Breaking Ceremony

The Washington State Fair Foundation is excited to welcome guests to a groundbreaking ceremony/barn raising event, for The Farm at SillyVille, opening day of the Washington State Spring Fair.

What:  Join the Washington State Fair community as we break ground/raise a barn, to kick off the agricultural exhibit, The Farm at SillyVille. The event is free and will celebrate what’s sure to become a guest favorite, for generations to come.

The Farm at SillyVille is Washington’s food and farming story: a free, exciting, hands-on exhibit at the Washington State Fair that connects kids and families to our state’s agriculture industry, the farmers that produce the food we eat and the connection to healthy eating choices.
