fter a dormant 2020, we have emerged from hibernation, rolled up our sleeves, and are spinning the 2021 Fair into full-fledged fury. The Skagit Fair has endured two world wars, the great depression, droughts, doubts, and the Spanish flu. As the longest running festival in Skagit County, we have emerged from a hiatus with renewed enthusiasm and steadfast determination. The stage is set, the carnival is in place, the vendors are ready, the bands are tuned, the tents are erect, and the animals are kicking at the barn doors with excitement.

The Skagit County Fair runs August 1114. Gates open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. www.skagitcounty.net/fair Phone: 360-416-1350

After the Spanish flu swept through the US in 1918, a renewed energy spurred the roaring twenties— rousing greater innovation and a passion for music, arts, and creativity. A year of reflection brings resurrection and the 2021 Fair will be the perfect venue for reconnection. The 2021 Fair sets the transformation process in motion as our cocoons dissolve and we focus on our summer Fair freedom flight, complete with funnel cakes, French fries, fajitas, and other fair food favorites.

Jon elaborated, “It became our family thing. The school really embraces a family concept. The kids come in and learn rock music but are also bringing it home. It became part of our dinner conversations and we were enjoying their performances. Our kids formed lifelong friendships. Now that our kids are in their mid-to-late-20s we have been able to see the lifelong impact that School of Rock has had. Kyle has gone on to be a professional musician in L.A. He used School of Rock as an opportunity to learn to play guitar before attending Mountlake Terrace High School for Jazz. He studied music at USC on a scholarship, earning a bachelor’s and graduate degree in music. Megan plays bass and guitar to this day; she actively participates in open mics and music projects. While her career is not in music, Megan has expressed that performing on stage gave her the planning skills and confidence to “pretty much tackle anything.”

Family Entertainment on the Main Stage Y

MATT HENRY, THE “MASTER OF THE UNNECESSARY” Wednesday: 12:30 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Thursday: 12:30 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.

Friday: 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.

Saturday: 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.

Matt Henry is a performer with some serious skills. His cutting-edge effects, and innovative wit have awed and amused audiences around the world but it’s his combination of one-of-akind stunts, humor, and audience participation that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats and rolling in the aisles.

Matt developed the nucleus of his Comedy Juggling Stunt Show during his days busking on the streets of Manhattan. He then moved to Orlando, honing his skills with thousands (yes, thousands) of shows onstage at Disney World. Henry continued to expand his technical repertoire as well and his hard work was rewarded in 2001 when he bested dozens of other world-class competitors to win a World Juggling Championship.

Don’t miss your chance to see this versatile performer perform his comedy juggling act. He will wow you with his wit, charm, and skill!

ELLIOTT HUNTER, “THE MAGIC OF ELLIOTT” Friday: 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.

the world.

After obtaining his engineering degree, Elliott worked to incorporate his technical knowledge to customize his show for large company meetings and educational efforts; all while adding a dynamic aspect to his full evening show. Companies like SONY, TEDx, and Starbucks have all featured Elliott for the energy and enthusiasm he brings to his efforts. By combining sleight of hand with intimate storytelling and other facets of entertainment, Elliott Hunter creates an experience more unique than his Ginger Genetics!

RON STUBBS, ROCK AND ROLL HYPNOTIST Wednesday: 1:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Thursday: 1:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.

Saturday: 3:30 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Skagit County Fair would like to welcome back, once again, our favorite hypnotist, the Rockstar of Hypnosis himself: Ron Stubbs! Ron Stubbs and the Hypnotic Mayhem Comedy Hypnosis Show comes complete with the sound and lighting effects that you would expect from a full-blown rock concert.

Add an exceedingly liberal dose of intensely insane comedy where the audience becomes the stars of the show and anything can happen… and often does. Take all your preconceived notions of what a hypnosis show is supposed to be and toss them out the window. It’s like nothing you have ever seen before…. That’s because it’s much more than your typical hypnosis show…it’s HYPNOTIC MAYHEM….

Roving Entertainment at the Fair A

t the Fair, entertainment isn’t reserved only for when you’re parked at one of our stages. Our roving entertainers ensure that you are entertained even as you walk around the fairgrounds. We have three wonderful, roving acts joining us in 2021. Keep an eye out for all of them!

THE DINO CREW

Wednesday: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Thursday-Saturday: 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

The Dino Crew will be bringing its dinosaur entertainment back to the Skagit County Fair this year! The Dino Crew specializes in bringing “the dinosaur theme” to life! Fair goers will be surprised by the details in the car-sized mechanical dinosaur suits and how realistic they can be. There will be one LG Dino and another roaming the grounds looking for friends to play with. There will also be several small baby Dinos coming out to interact with fair goers. Despite their ferocious looks and intimidating roars, the dinosaurs have super likable personalities, and they are great with people of all ages! For the 2–5-year old’s they can act like a gentle puppy, or for the older ones they can behave like a wild dinosaur.

Learn more at dinocrewentertainment.com. Follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/dinocrewentertainment.

WREN THE JUGGLER

Wren will be strolling the fairgrounds a portion of each day TBD while also performing on the community stage.

Wren the Juggler has been juggling for years, both delighting audiences with high energy, fun, funny acts and also annoying downstairs neighbors with late night practicing (sorry, Steve). Wren comes at juggling and circus from a technical and analytical angle. The mathematical patterns and possibilities of the various props have served as his inspiration to develop acts that both technically delight and make audiences roar with laughter. A local to Skagit County, Wren has performed at libraries, festivals, parties and more. His juggling has created many smiling interactions wherever he roams...because it is juggling and how can that not make everyone smile?

MATT HENRY, BIG OL’ BUBBLES ROVING BUBBLE ACT Wednesday: 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Thursday: 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Friday: 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Saturday: 2:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.

Matt Henry is a multi-talented performer and entertainer. He honed his comedy juggling act over many years, which he will be performing at the Fair.

Not content to rest on his laurels, though, Matt also developed a completely different performance, called the Big Bubble Show. After following a recipe for homemade “bubble juice” he found online in 2012, his initial efforts created such fascination and joy in onlookers that he knew he had to make it part of the act. Since then, he has brought his giant bubbles to events across North America, delighting children and the young-at-heart with his spectacular creations! You will not want to miss Matt’s strolling giant bubble entertainment!

Students can choose from a variety of projects in the areas of technology, human sciences, large and small animals, science and engineering, natural resources, and citizenship and leadership.

T

he FFA organization was founded in 1928 by 33 farm boys under the name the Future Farmers of America; FFA now has almost 760,113 members in 8,739 chapters nationwide with millions of alumni. The organization is part of the high school courses in more than 300 careers in the food, fiber and natural resources industry including animal science, horticulture, agricultural mechanics and natural resources.

Skagit County has three FFA chapters:

their leadership skills in the community.

The Burlington-Edison FFA chapter has a long tradition of involving its members in the many different facets of agriculture that the Skagit Valley area has to offer. Students take pride in exhibiting their various projects at the fair each summer, and during the school year are involved in everything from Trapshooting and Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems to Floriculture and Nursery Landscape and Veterinary Science, Food Science and Leadership training in many different ways.

Sedro-Woolley FFA is active in the Floriculture and Nursery Landscape competitions hosted by FFA as well as Logging Rodeo and Trapshooting activities. Their activities are about getting outdoors - whether it’s to tend to animals, practice for competitions, or explore the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The chapter emphasizes leadership and personal development through action and involvement and we strive to offer members as many new and exciting experiences as possible.

Mount Vernon FFA is one of the first five chapters in Washington State!

We’re also the home to the first female National FFA Officer, Julie Smiley.

Throughout the year our chapter is dedicated to community service and leadership; we work on projects with Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, Neighbors in Need Food Bank, and other organizations. Besides animal projects, students participate in Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems and Veterinary Science competitions and their activities include many options for students to practice 22

Fun Fair Events NEW! KIDS’ PEDAL TRACTOR PULL FREE EVENT SCHEDULE

This is a brand-new event at the Skagit County Fair, but we know you’re going to love it. There is nothing funnier than seeing a kid pulling with all their might to the roar of the crowd!

ou and your kiddos will not want to miss the Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull event! It’s kids vs. machine where kids literally go head-to-head against the machine. It’s the cutest darn show you’ll ever see! The purpose of the event is to promote confidence and test strength and help kids learn about simple machines. The best part is that your kids become the superstars!

In the pre-show, kids learn and experience how these simple machines operate. Pedaling starts out relatively easy, but the further they go down the track, the incline of the track changes and the weight puts downforce on a skid plate, increasing friction and making it harder to pedal.

There are eight teams hosting this event at fairs around the country and they are thrilled to be bringing new programming to the Skagit County Fair.

Daily: 12:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m.

Outside the Fair office

Y

Kids pedal a vintage 1950s, highly modified tractor with an attached weight transfer sled. Metal plates are loaded according to the participant’s age category before they begin pedaling and pulling the sled down a 25-foot track. If they reach the end, they achieve a “full pull” or a “pull out.” Those who make it move into the finals with increased weight. Some kids have been known to pull as much as 500 pounds! The suspense and drama are action packed with music to build the excitement with the audience.

NEW! MUTTON BUSTING FREE EVENT SCHEDULE

Daily: 2:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 7:00 p.m.

Sherman Anderson ballfield

M

utton Busting is a fun and exciting sport, perfect for little cowgirls and cowboys. Enter your kids and they will soon be experiencing the thrill of the sport and the roar of the crowd! Picture bull or bronc riding but with gentle, woolly sheep. In the event, a three-person handler team places the sheep in a small chute and holds the sheep still while another adult handler places the child on top in the riding position. Once the child is seated on the sheep, the sheep is released and usually starts to run – slowly in an attempt to get the child off.

This brand-new event at the Skagit County Fair is brought to us by Dale and Sandy Sutherland, co-owners of Sutherland Livestock, LLC in Custer.

The couple has been mutton busting at fairs and rodeos since 2014 but this is their first time at the Skagit County Fair. “We’re excited”, she said. “It’s exciting to get back into what we enjoy goskagit.com

The Skagit County Fair Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull is a FREE EVENT with four shows daily (right outside the Fair office). Show times are 12:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to participate. (It’s a pedal tractor so they need to know how to pedal a bike!) Sign up is in person 10 minutes before show time; the rules will be explained. Every kid gets a participatory ribbon but the best prize is the rush of the crowd cheering. doing. It was hard last year with everything shut down.”

The vast majority of children participating in mutton busting fall off in less than eight seconds. Said Sandy, “the record for staying on was just over 8 seconds, held by a girl at the Lynden Fair.”

There will be three shows daily on the Sherman Anderson ballfield. Show times are 2:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. Sign-ups will be one hour before each show, in person at the arena – look for the sign-up table and banner. You can sign up and then come back for show times. Up to 15 kids per round may participate.

Kids must be at least four years of age and UNDER 55 pounds to be eligible to ride. Kids (and adults) of all ages can enjoy watching the show! The purpose of the age and weight restrictions on participants is to prevent injuries to the sheep. Implements such as spurs are banned from use. Children are required to wear helmets.

You can bring your own if you want but helmets are provided.

The arena will be set up with shavings underneath for cushion.

Parents will be asked to sign waivers.
