From I-5, north or south, take exit 104, (SR8). Follow the signs toward Aberdeen for 25.8 miles to Fairgrounds road, turn right for one half mile and turn right on Elma-McCleary road. The fairgrounds are on your right.
Bring your beaver tails and any antlers you have kicking around. They might not do you much good but we can use them to finance WSTA.
A good item donated for our auction is very much appreciated. We depend on our auctions to provide the bulk of the funds to run WSTA.
Hope to see you there.

Bruce, It was a $10.00 entry fee, did you forget or you dropped it down to $5.00 ? :dunno:
$10.00 that's pretty cheap for what your going to get out of it just in Demo's alone.
1:00 PM Lunch provided for a small charge
My daughter (Single woman :tup: great cook ;) ;)) will be putting on the lunch for you guys. She will be serving Fresh Homemade Chicken Soup, sandwich and a soda pop or bottle of water for $8.00
For everyone, remember to bring a piece or two of "Fur" for the donation to all programs. Give them to me or Bruce.
For you guys that committed to the other post and haven't brought the to us, bring them along to the Winter Rendezvous / Fur Sale.
See you all there, we will have a great time
