When we ask people, “What is unique about the Pierce County Fairgrounds?” The Round Barn is the most popular answer. With the postponement of the 2020 Fair, we will be celebrating two 100-year accomplishments as it relates to the Pierce County Fair in 2021. It will be 100 years +1 since the Round Barn was built on the fairgrounds and 4-H started 100 years ago in Pierce County. To help celebrate the 101 years of the Round Barn, former windows from the Round Barn are being made available to purchase for a window repurposing contest. Guidelines for the contest are stated below.
• Purchase from the Fair Office a 27”x20” (approximate size) 4 pane window for $25.
• Repurpose window to your desired creation. Be creative! (example: paint on glass, add favorite 4-H or fair pictures, etch the glass, creatively decorate it, repurpose the use of the window, or etc.)
• Must keep original shape, no cutting of window but you can add to it or replace glass or edging if desired or necessary.
• Purchase is limited to one window per contestant.
