This was our 1st year to see membership tickets online and it proved to be successful. We sold over 2000
tickets and expect this to increase each year.
And last but definitely not least, we would like to thank the thousands of people who purchased tickets. None
of this would take place if you didn’t take the chance and purchase tickets.
We look forward to next year and hope to see everyone at the Washington Parish Fair.
Marsha Newman
Membership Committee Chair
