We’re celebrating Washington Archives Month throughout October, and this year’s theme is Fairs and Festivals. In keeping with the theme, this photo shows people taking part in a cake-eating contest during the Cornucopia Festival in Kent in 1956.

Check out the Archives Month website, where you can learn about workshops and other free events related to the State Archives, plus access to this year’s Archives Month poster. If you want to pick up a free printed copy of the Archives Month poster, stop by our Executive Office in the Legislative Building on the Capitol Campus in Olympia, the State Archives office at 1129 Washington St. SE in Olympia, or one of the regional branches in Bellevue, Bellingham, Cheney or Ellensburg.
