Speaking of fair, the Clallam County Fair is one of those events that both tourists and locals like to attend. The Fair starts Thursday August 15th and runs until Sunday August 18th. The fair has something for everyone. From the scones to the rodeo, the fair is geared to the country western flavor of Clallam County. The weather has been absolutely awesome! Go enjoy a day at the fair and be sure to bring your camera.
The second event that is worth considering is all new to Sequim .... the Air Affaire at the Sequim Valley airport off the Old Olympic Highway about three miles west the city limits.
This event is only two days, August 31st and September 1st and is for early risers, especially if your thinking about taking a balloon ride. Because of the breezes that come up in the late morning or early afternoon the balloon rides start at 7AM and are done by 9AM. But that isn't the only thing featured.
There is a fly-in of some very exotic aircraft. If your into aircraft images this will be your event. They will have these aircraft on display for your up close and personal viewing.
Along with the aircraft, there will be a classic car display as well. Wing walkers, skydivers, vendors of all sorts will also be in attendance. Weather should be great.
From what I heard there maybe some balloon landings in the Sequim/Carlsborg area. So look up.
Last year during the 2012 Sequim Balloon Festival I had a balloon land in the field next to my house to retrieve something on the ground. They were playing a game with the balloons, dropping from the sky to a field to pick up certain items and taking off again.

As in the previous balloon festival they will have tethered balloons that you can ride in. The ReMax balloon was on hand last year and I suspect it will be at this event as well. It gave rides to dozens of people before the winds got to harsh.

So if your into flying or would just like to see a hot air balloon or many different aircraft and classic cars come out to the Air Affaire event. Sounds like fun.
