PORT ANGELES — Two miles from the Clallam County Fair, in downtown Port Angeles, a fair winner is already proudly showing her blue ribbon.
Specialeyes, an eyeglass store at 116 E. First St., won first place for its window display, which was created by optician Kathy Coville.
“Once I knew the theme, I was anxious to work with it,” Coville said. “It was the rock ‘n’ roll.”
The 2011 Clallam County Fair theme is “Rock with the Stock,” and Coville brought in everything but the stock.
A bale of straw, which all but exploded when the crew putting the decorations together cut the strings, wooden chicken crates and a jukebox cutout and plenty of “Rock with the Stock” fake records create the corner of a barn.
A barn ready for a rock ‘n’ roll party.
Coville didn’t know how much she will receive in prize money.
“It’s not about the money,” Coville said. “It was the fun in doing the window.”
