Fairgrounds turns Grant County into a destination for horse competitors

MOSES LAKE — The sound of hoofbeats is a constant at the Grant County Fairgrounds. “We have a horse event almost every weekend starting in March through October, not including August because we’ve got the fair going on (that month),” said Events Administrator Shayla Anderson. The fairgrounds boasts two pavilions, a 5,000-seat rodeo ground, 444 horse stalls, more than 450 RV camping sites, located in the middle of the state and with a sunny desert climate. That combination draws horse enthusiasts from all over Washington.
