9th Annual Grays Harbor Expo @ Ocean Shores Convention Center
May 27 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm
9th Annual Grays Harbor Expo @ Ocean Shores Convention Center | Ocean Shores | Washington | United States

You and your family can kick-start your summer by attending six festival shows all packed into one fun-filled weekend, and all free of charge. Attend the Grays Harbor Expo on Memorial day weekend, May 27 to May 30, in Ocean Shores.

One 12-year-old girl got her wish for a castle when the artistry of one of our Ice Carving contestants carved a crystal ice castle complete with towers. Dad got his chance to fly a drone and ask all the questions he had about taking care of one. Eight-year-old Chelsea loves dolphins and bought a glass one leaping out of a glass wave. Grandpa and fifteen-year-old Dean took a ton of pictures of all the hot rods and fancy restored cars. Mom bought a blue heron carved spruce wood bench for the patio. Dora’s family went home with the newest in pots and pans. Finally, George left a note remembering his lost friend and listened to taps being played at the Memorial Day remembrance service.

A home show, with ice carving demonstrations, a hot rod car show, an art show with live artists working, chainsaw carving and auctions, and a Memorial Day Service are all part of the weekend. And that doesn’t even count all the games, the big purple slide, the pony rides and all the great food available.

Make the start of your summer just the beginning of this summer’s memories at the 9th Annual Grays Harbor Expo. Visit http://www.graysharborexpo.com/. This festival is hosted at the Ocean Shores Convention Center. You can find more to do in Ocean Shores by downloading the free smart phone app “Ocean Shores-Something Fun!” from your iPhone or Android app store.
