The Washington County Fair is heartbroken by the passing of Sgt. Mike Lawing, a longtime dedicated member of our fair family. As a committed Richmond police officer, Sgt. Lawing played a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the fairgrounds each year. His unwavering dedication to protecting our community and creating a safe environment for all who attended the fair will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues as they navigate this difficult time.

The winning food booth was the Rhode Island State Grange(Corn Dog Booth).

We’d also like to thank the Richmond - Carolina Fire District, Chariho Rotary Club, Del's Lemonade & Refreshments, Inc., the Warwick Symphony Orchestra, and other vendors who participated and donated in our fundraiser.

TONIGHT!!!

Thursday, August 15th, we are extremely excited to welcome MADDIE & TAE to the Main Stage at 9pm. Maddie & Tae first broke out in 2013 with their Platinum-selling smash, “Girl In A Country Song,” which took Country radio by storm, skyrocketing to the top of the charts and establishing them as only the third female duo in 70 years to top the Country Airplay charts. The pair drew praise for their Gold-certified The Way It Feels album - featuring the 3X Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Die From A Broken Heart” - as well as their one-two punch projects Through The Madness Vol.1 and Vol. 2. Their current single “Heart They Didn’t Break” is available everywhere now. To learn more about Maddie & Tae, visit their website at: https://www.maddieandtae.com/

A Labor Of Love

A Labor of Love

Washington County Fair, the largest fair in Rhode Island, could be aptly described as a labor of love. After 50 years, it has come a very long way from that first modest event held on the grounds of Perryville Grange in Wakefield in 1967. It began as a way to emphasize the importance of agriculture in our daily lives and to recreate the long time tradition of the county fair which was an important part of our heritage.

The idea for the Fair originated in the Washington County Pomona Grange which encompassed all the Subordinate or local Granges in the County. The Fair is owned and operated by the Washington County Pomona Grange. The Grange, Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a National Organization with headquarters in Washington, DC. It is a Non-Profit fraternal organization with members in 38 states across the Nation. Organized December 4, 1867, it is the oldest Farm Family Fraternity in the Country with an enviable record of community service and good citizenship as cornerstones of its long history.
