Schedule of Events

Olympic Motors Day is Friday, August 29  Before heading to the fair, stop by Olympic Motors on E Hwy 14 to pick up a $2 off daily gate admission coupon for the day!

At the fair, stop by Olympic Motors Building (formerly Prostrollo Motors Building) to see the newest vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC including a great selection of 2023 and 2024 Chevy and GMC pickups with model year-end discounts.  And we always try to throw in something different for you to view each year if you like older and interesting vehicles.  In addition, there will be special door prize drawings from Olympic Motors during the Fair as well as free ice water on Friday, Olympic Motors Day. 

Also, sign up for a chance to win the “Best Seats in the House” at the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday shows in the Grandstand. Don’t miss it!
