The Washington County Farm Bureau Food Stand is a popular spot at the Washington County Fairgrounds every summer.

It's a busy stand and it's not uncommon for them to serve around 5,000 burgers and 3,200 orders of fries in a given week at the Washington County Fair.

Operating the food stand at the fair is the primary source of fundraising for the Washington County Farm Bureau. The food stand is over 25 years old and is in need of expansion and upgrades. A few contractors are lined up to do an addition on the stand.

They are looking to add on to the south end of their building. They will take the cooking hood and fryers that are in the main building right now and move it out to the addition. It will help to get some of the heat away from their volunteers.                                       

Donations are being accepted for this expansion and upgrade project for the Washington County Farm Bureau Food Stand, which costs $85,000. Due to the past successes, the board has allocated $40,000 for the project. The goal is to have funds raised and the improvements completed by this year’s Washington County Fair.
