Seattle Seafair – home of the Albert Lee Cup at Seafair – was recently named winner of the BEST FAIR/FESTIVAL category for 2012 in the prestigious annual awards presented by Special Events Magazine.
Seafair’s competition for the award included the biggest community celebrations from around the world with the other two finalists coming from Louisiana and California.
The Air National Guard H1 Unlimited Hydroplane series has been the centerpiece of Seafair since 1951, drawing some the biggest crowds on record for sporting events in the USA.
