Snohomish County Fair Park staff said they will be holding a countywide drive-thru food drive on Aug. 27.
The event is an effort to celebrate the fair community amid the cancellation of the Evergreen State Fair due to COVID-19, according to a press release from Snohomish County.
The event will be located in the West parking lot of the Evergreen State Fair Park in Monroe from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
"You are invited to decorate your vehicle in a fun Fair-inspired theme," the county said in the press release. "Ideas could include County Fair elements, fair food, carnival ride, race car or even a pig!"
People who attend will be submitted for a chance to win a Family 4–Pack of Fair admission to the 2021 Evergreen State Fair. Businesses who decorate their business vehicle could win 12 fair admissions.
“The need for access to good, free food is ever-present, and we don’t see that need ending for several more months, if not into 2021,” Jessica Moore, the director of Development for Volunteers of America Western Washington said in the press release. “Monetary donations are the best so that we have the flexibility to buy the food we need.”
