With the Clatsop County Fair right around the corner, Fair Manager Kyle Sharpsteen is encouraging people to plan ahead before heading out to the fairgrounds.
“Especially for our headline performers, Sawyer Brown and Britnee Kellogg, we urge people to arrive at least three hours before the performers are scheduled to go on. The last thing we want is to have people waiting in their car when the concert starts,” said Clatsop County Manager Kyle Sharpsteen.
“A people mover will be available to drop people off at the bridge from the parking lot and there will be lots of good food vendors and live music on the main stage before the concert while you wait for the big show,” he said.
The 2023 Clatsop County Fair runs Tuesday, August 1 through Sunday, Aug. 5 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds & Expo. Although there will not be a carnival this year, musical performances, comedy acts, a rock climbing wall, a mechanical bull, petting zoos, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, a classic car show, and more are scheduled every day.
Daily admission prices range from $10 per day for individuals aged 7-54, $5 per day for people age 55 and older, and free admission for children ages 6 and younger. “We have a $40 cap per family because we want to make sure this is an affordable event for families,” Sharpsteen said.
Tickets for the Sawyer Brown concert with Britnee Kellogg are not included with general admission and may be purchased online.
The Clatsop County Fair & Expo is located at 92937 Walluski Loop in Astoria.
