Spokane Interstate Fair
The association has one of the nicest bee booths around. You can get lots of
free advise, find out about the association and sign up for our bee class. Its fun to see
all the exhibits. Be part of the fair and volunteer to work for a four hour session. Also
we sell honey at the booth to raise money for the association, which we use to assist WSU
with research.
