Kittitas County Fair 2010

The County Fair and the Rodeo is one of the largest events during the year for Ellensburg. The CWU students have mostly gone home, the faculty and staff are on vacation. The town is now full of folks from all of the rural areas. My photos will jump around between these until the big Paint Ellensburg event on September 18.

Ellensburg could have been the State Capital of Washington State, but...

The town burned down in July of 1889!

Ten city blocks and over two hundred homes were lost in the fire.

The China Inn Restaurant.

This property now available for lease with 10,000 hungry college students about to descend on Ellensburg this month!
