Kids rule at the fair

When isn’t it kids day at the fair?

Well, today is an extra special day for young people at the Evergreen State Fair, with entertainment and activities for children and families all day at the Courtyard Stage.

Best of all, kids age 15 and younger are admitted free.

Labor Day the old-fashioned way: Join Camano Island vaudevillian R. Chumleigh for a Labor Day event that includes music and humor.

Gates open at 1 p.m., and the concert starts at 2 p.m. Monday at Chumleighland, East Camano Drive and Dallman Road.

Admission is pay what you can or free for those who are unemployed. “You have nothing to lose but your chains,” Chumleigh said.

Former Washington state poet Linda Allen and folksinger Mark Ross plan to perform labor songs.
