Rain Won’t Stop the Fun at the Fair

Don't let a little rain discourage you from enjoying all the activities or the things to eat and see today, officials at the Central Washington State Fair say.

"We have all kinds of indoor exhibits and we have tents over a lot of things," fair spokesman Rob Phillips says. "Even a lot of the kiddie rides have tents over them. A little bit of rain isn't going to hurt us much." Phillips says rains always thin out crowds, but he says fair attendance is still up  13 percent over last year at this time.

Tonight, despite the drizzle, country music star Neal McCoy plays the Budweiser Stage at 7 p.m. Phillips says if you're going to the show, just wear a raincoat and enjoy some great country music.
