The Washington State Fair Foundation has been a long-standing investor in the academic achievements of students throughout our state for decades. Since the inception of the Blue Ribbon Scholarship Program in 1991, over $2 million worth of scholarships have been awarded to high school seniors and adult learners from across the state of Washington pursuing scholastic success.

The 27th Annual Round Up Auction, “Huckleberry & Horseshoes,” will be held on August 8th, 2025, as we welcome 500 guests to the Agriplex at the Fairgrounds for good food, fun, and bidding on both Silent and Live auction items. In the coming year, we will award $159,000 to students throughout Washington with funding generated by this incredible effort.
