NCW Fairgrounds has been renamed to Douglas County Fairgrounds: Home of the NCW Fair with a revamped front entry. According to fair manager, Carolyn Morely, the name change was prompted due to fair personnel wanting to connect Douglas County to the fairgrounds.

"We were able to get funding from the Northwest Farm Credit Services as well as the Waterville Community Foundation," said Morely.

The fair will still be referred to as the North Central Washington Fair, which is set for August 26th through the 29th.
