I will be asking the Okanogan County Commissioner's to restructure the Fair next month. Since 2014, the Fair Board was eliminated and a new Fair Advisory Committee was formed. The 11 members of this Committee are supposed to volunteer to put on the County Fair under the direction of the BOCC. The Fairgrounds Manager is to do their paperwork, pay bills, answer calls, sign contracts and so much more but has ZERO say in the Fair and its happenings because of the current FAC and their reluctance to follow their Policies and Procedures and because many of them have their own personal agendas that is hindering the progress and growth of the fair. I would like to have a say. I would like to oversee that the families and youth that the Fair is SUPPOSED to be about are once again the focus of Fair. I would like Fair to be FAIR again. Change is hard, but something has to be done. Accountability, integrity, transparency are values that need to be front and center when serving the People of Okanogan County. Strong leadership is lacking and I hope to be that person, and I am asking for your support. Please email ncpeasley@hotmail.com, text or call 509-322-8513 if you have any questions or concerns. Let's make Fair Great Again.
