Our Fair Honoree
This year's Fair Honoree, Kathleen Wright, first became involved with the Evergreen State Fair in 1993 when she entered baked items for competition. She returned in 1994 as the Open Class Baking department superintendent and has been a strong role model for community involvement and helping others benefit by showing them how to take an active role ever since. Always mindful of a fair's function to "educate, encourage and evaluate", Kathleen demonstrates in the American Heritage department and competes in many of the Display Hall departments.
Kathleen's passion for Fair goes far beyond the 12-day Fair each year. She leads free seminars, promoting how to enter at the Fair and win, all year long at libraries, farmer's farkets , at the Fairgrounds and other events. Many new contestants have had a more positive Fair experience because they attended one of these workshops. She also conducts judges training for baked goods judges each year.
Because of her passion for the ideals of Fair, family, tradition and education, The Evergreen State Fair is pleased to recognize Kathleen Wright as the 2011 Fair Honoree.
