Our September Business After Hours was a hilarious evening of fun with more than 100 business members, electeds and city officials enjoying the hospitality of the Washington State Fair at the Fairview Club.  Our host, Kent Hojem, CEO of the Washington State Fair, welcomed everyone and generously provided more than 20 door prizes for guests to enjoy.

A big Chamber thank you to the Fair for their wonderful hospitality, our greeters, Tubbs and Dennis Lee the Rodeo Clown and all the wonderful prize donations.  It was a really fun evening.
