Dedicated to the citizens of Mason County, Washington since 1886

Matlock Old-Timers Fair this weekend

After a two-year interruption due to COVID-19, the Matlock Old-Timers Historical Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Mary M. Knight School. Engine enthusiasts can marvel at the Steam Donkey and antique tractors. Inside the gym, patrons can find bargains at the swap meet tables, listen to live music and create crafts. Thrill seekers can plummet down the giant pink slide.

Admission is free. The school is at 2987 Matlock-Brady Road.

The displays include World War II vehicles, some of them still operational.

The event is about 20 years old, said chairman Leroy Valley, and draws "everyone who wants to know a little bit about history."

The event celebrates the region's heritage in the timber industry.

The John Turnow Museum will be open. Patrons can buy raffle tickets to win a wood-burned cutout of Bigfoot.
