The Pierce County centennial fair mixed old and new as exhibitors faced a damaging hail storm. Animal entries rose while power outages disrupted soil science, flowers, sewing, and rushed deadlines. Lorraine Eichman’s antique costumes and Mae Taylor’s 1870s dress highlighted the program amid 1983 era diversions.
The Pierce County Fair set records including 31 000 attendees and 30 000 dollars in midway receipts. Open classes boosted livestock and dairy exhibition, with 51 new century farm owners recognized and Pierce County totaling 80 century farms. Chris Fleming repeated last year as grand dairy champion with a grade Holstein, while top meat and junior dairy champions debuted as grand champions. Weather expected to be favorable for further judging and displays.
