PORT ANGELES – Clallam County’s Fair has gotten kudos for its revamped and expanded rodeo this year.
The 2023 Clallam County Fair & Rodeo was recently awarded the Northwest Pro Rodeo Association’s Year End Award, “Best New Rodeo.” The Clallam County Fair Rodeo has been a long‑standing community tradition. The Rodeo is new to the NPRA.
Fair Manager Shari Ioffrida said the rodeo, which moved to Friday and Saturday nights at the fair and drew hundreds of participants, owed the success to a large infusion in money from rodeo sponsors, a very active committee and a bevy of volunteers. She called it the biggest rodeo ever seen at the Clallam County Fair.
