Skagit
County businesspeople display local products at Legislative Trade Fair
Skagit County was well
represented at the "Made in Washington" Legislative Trade Fair in the
state Capitol rotunda Monday. Products they displayed ranged from farm
products, wine, and even boat tours of Deception Pass.
The trade fair was organized by Republicans and Democrats in the House
of Representatives to showcase Washington-made products to lawmakers and
to help them understand the role local businesses have in shaping the
state's economy. The event was held during the first day of the 2007
legislative session.
Rep.
Barbara Bailey,
R-Oak Harbor, hosted the 10th District table and met with local
businessmen and women who attended from Skagit County.
