MOSES LAKE — There had been no charges or crimes this year at the Grant County Fair as of Wednesday afternoon, according to Grant County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Kyle Foreman.  

One child became separated from their guardian but was reconnected with GCSO help Tuesday. Parents can visit the GCSO booth to obtain a wristband for their child with their phone number marked on it so that children can easily be reunited with their families. 

GCSO released a statement reminding people to be mindful of leaving valuables in vehicles in the fairgrounds parking lot. The statement said that the fairgrounds parking lots are tempting targets for vehicle prowlers. GCSO recommends people lock their vehicles and make sure no valuables are visible through the windows.
