Cowlitz County Event Center — Attraction in Longview

For the past 8 years have attended the Cowlitz County Fair. It's free and small.

The grounds are kept in pretty nice shape there were lots of large shade trees in one of the areas across from the large main structure. There are also hookups with electricity for RVs and trailers and additional areas where tents could be set up.
