We (Capitalarians) at Lakefair all love our own pets just as
much as you love yours and we love to take them places with us.
Most animals are not used to lots of
people in tight areas and this can cause serious problems not
only to your pet, or yourself but possibly to innocent
bystanders. There
have been several incidents at Lakefair over the past few years
which requires Capital Lakefair to request
that you leave your pets at home. The only animals we
permit during Capital Lakefair are Certified Service Animals.
PLEASE, LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME.

What should I do if I have an emergency while I am at
Lakefair?
A.
For the safety of all persons attending Lakefair there will be a
large presence of Olympia Police Officers. In addition to
OPD Officers on foot patrolling all Lakefair areas, there will
also be OPD Officers and Olympia Fire Department Paramedics on
bicycles. These officers will be augmented by Olympia Police
Explorers. Capital Lakefair staff will be easily
recognized with bright orange t-shirts marked with EVENT STAFF
on their backs. Olympia Police will also have officers
stationed in their Communications Van at the corner of Legion
