Sun Shines Brightly on the 2014 Washington State Fair Annual Cattle Drive and Wrangler Pancake Breakfast

Today's Wrangler Pancake Breakfast at the Pioneer Park Pavilion kicked off a bright sunny day for the 2014 annual Washington State Fair Cattle Drive at ten o'clock this morning.  Cowboy hats, Wranglers, Daffodil royalty and local communities turned out in abundance to celebrate opening day of the Fair and watch the ever famous cattle mosey on down Meridian to the fairgrounds.

The Fair runs through Sunday, September 21st.  Be sure to stop in and see us at our Chamber booth at the Pavilion.  There's a great photo op for folks to post on Facebook and enter for a prize drawing.

See you at the fairgrounds!
