Out and About in C-town – September 9 - special Chelan County Fair edition
By Steve Godfrey
Beer Garden at the Fair!: You can find more than just farm animals, Davis Shows Carnival rides, and cotton candy at the Fair – you can also wash down all that fair food with a tall cold one at the Tillicum Riders Beer Garden located by the Rodeo Arena. And for all those cowboys and cowgirls who just might want something with a little more kick, they will also offer Pendleton Whiskey. The Beer Garden opens Friday night at 6:00 and Saturday and Sunday at noon. Beat the unseasonably hot weather with a nice cold beer! You can also enjoy watching the Rodeo from the Beer Garden, as well as the Tillicum Riders Drill Team when they perform in the arena Saturday and Sunday.
Go ahead -- eat that fair food and support a charity

Chelan County Fair: John Payne, the One Armed Bandit
By Marsha Clute
Chelan County Fair Entertainment takes a new direction in 2011. The One Armed Bandit, John Payne, has been roaming the "wild west" since 1986 gathering up wild cattle and selling them off to a Rodeo stock contractor. He caught some bulls in the Florida swamps and wanted to see them buck so he started following the Rodeo circuit where he witnessed what he calls "a low talent show" at a Rodeo.
