Again - Record Amount Bestowed in Scholarships From the Clark County Fair
Fourteen Washington students coming from southwest Washington-area high schools and who are each pursuing post-graduate academics are the 2026 recipients of a cumulative $29,500 in scholarships from the Clark County Fair Association.
