On February 21st, there will be a Pulled Pork and Chicken Fundraiser Dinner at the Washington County Fairgrounds. WMOA spoke with Emily Griffin, the Washington County Fairboard Treasurer, about the event details.

 
"We get our money to operate and to be able to put the fair on through fundraising. So in addition to what we make at the fair. So this is our biggest fundraiser that allows us to basically keep up with operating expenses throughout the year. And, um, also help to put, to go towards the fair."
 

Griffin shares the menu for attendees. In addition to the adult menu, children can order hot dogs, chips, a dessert, and either pulled pork or a small piece of chicken. 

 

"We are having, um, our chicken, which is cooked over an open fire. Uh, the guys on the fair board actually cook that. And um, we also have pulled pork that the Fair board made as well. And we are doing, um, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, green beans, and a roll."

 

In addition to a filling dinner, there will be a variety of activities. One of the larger activities is a gun-and-cash raffle. 500 tickets are priced at $20, and there are still tickets available. 

 
"We have a silent auction and we have a live auction. We have card games that people can take a chance on, um, winning guns or larger items. We always have kids activities that are, um, in the back for the keep the kids entertained. We are having, um, a 50 50 and we're also having, um, picking on country play from five 30 to seven as well."
 

This year, the annual event is even more special as we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Washington County Fair. The public is invited to attend and help support the fundraiser.

 
"This is the hundred 75th anniversary for the fairgrounds. So, um, we're gonna be promoting that as well that night and just showcasing different things and we're gonna really push that this year. So, um, we just asked for the communities to support us so we can provide back to them a great hundred 75th fair."
 

Dinner will begin at 5:30 P.M. Tickets for adults cost $15.00, and tickets for kids cost $5.00. To schedule a To-Go order, Griffin asks that it be reserved in advance. To-Go orders can be placed by dialing (740) 213-2091.
