Capital Lakefair

From Capital Lakefair Website:

Capital Lakefair, Inc. is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Olympia, Washington. While widely known as Olympia's annual summer festival, Lakefairs' mission is to give back and celebrate our community in Thurston County. This year we are commemorating 61 years of service with an "Enchanted Garden.".

The festival is a volunteer organization governed by a voting member body known as the Capitalarians, a group of dedicated members that show their love and dedication to the people of Thurston County by donating their time. Every year a new group of young women from area high schools participate in numerous community activities as part of our Scholarship Program. Each Lakefair princess receives a $3000 scholarship, with a $5000 scholarship going to the selected queen.

Funding for Capital Lakefair is provided solely by contributions from individuals and businesses in our community, financial and/or in-kind donations by our sponsors and operations from our five-day festival in July.
