'Rough weekend' for Dragonfest
By NATALIE JOHNSON
natalie@masoncounty.com
The first ever Dragon-
fest took over the Sander-
son Field Events Center
and Fairground on the third
weekend in April and drew
some adventurous locals and
tourists out into the sun.
'%Ve counted 900 people,
400 of them were children,"
said event organizer Rachel
Hansen. "It was a beautiful
weekend but a rough week-
end. I think ff you throw an
event that has never hap-
pened before it's hard to get
people to know about it."
Dragonfest, an event Han-
sen envisioned as a combined
Earth Day, St. George's Day
and general spring-themed
fundraiser for the fair strug-
gled to fill the fairgrounds
over the weekend.
The event had 24 vendors,
including three food vendors
and a beer garden.
To raise awareness for the
Mason Area Fair, many fair
departments showed up to
perform demonstrations or
provide activities for children
at the event.
"Kids had a really good
time with it and the older
people had a good time too,"
Hansen said.
There were also 62 per-
formers at the event includ-
ing a fire-dancing group
called Dragon Steps.
"The Dragon Steps were
there all weekend they had
25 performers and they were
doing all sorts of things,"
Hansen said.
The festival also included
paper lantern building work-
shops and a lantern parade.
"We had a huge influx of
people building lanterns on
Saturday afternoon," Hansen
said. "They went through the
parade and there were prob-
ably 200 or 300 people."
While only 900 people at-
tended the event, Hansen
said the average festival-goer
spent four to six hours there.
Many of them also came from
outside Mason County to at-
tend the event.
"We had a lot of people
from Olympia but not a lot
of people from Shelton," she
said.
Rachel and John Hanson,
of Northwest Event Orga-
nizers, signed a lease for the
fairgrounds with the Port of
Shelton early this year.
The Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration (FAA) has ruled
that the port must revert the
land the fairgrounds sits on,
which is next to its main run-
way, to airport use b: Decem-
ber 2013.
Hansen said they are
trying to renew awareness
of and interest in the fair-
grounds before then.
"Unless somebody actually
steps up and does something
with what we have now, there
isn't going to be a reason to
have a fairgrounds," she said.
"Tigris really is a fun place to go,
we need to have activities going
so people know that it's open."
In addition to regular
events that happen at the fair-
grounds, like the Mason Area
Fair and OysterFest, Hansen
said Northwest Event Or-
ganizers plans to have more
events at the location.
"It's important that we
have a gathering place,"
Hansen said. '%Ve need sup-
port from the community."
