County Fair Legacy Project
The Washington County Fair brings many artistic programs to the fair each year. We are planning on having community bands and a long ago form of arts - a balloonologist. Keeping the community bands alive for enjoying the art of big bands is a much needed art. A balloonologist is a very old form of art, which is amazing to watch and an art that needs to be preserved. We will be having Paul Bunyan. Paul Bunyan explains the use of his ax for cutting down trees. He will depict how long ago homes were built by logs chopped down in the forests. Having him portrays the agricultural heritage of wood chopping.
White Bear Lake Big Band and South Washington Community Band - we expect at least 100 people will attend. We will be taking pictures and computing how many chairs and bleachers we have set up and how full they are to come up with an approximation., , Ms Jaz-ee - we expect that at least 2000 will visit her spot over the five days she will be at the fair. She typically has lines of people waiting to see her. Our attendance is 50,000 over five days. Potentially hoping to get the number of balloons that she goes through to try to get a count of attendees., , Paul Bunyan - we expect at least 2000 will stop to talk to him over the three days he will be at the fair. He typically moves around to different spots. He also has lines of people waiting to talk with him.,
