The Old Chambers Prairie Grange is experiencing a renaissance. In October of 2015, Tom Schrader purchased the old grange with the hope of turning it into something special. Starbucks took over the property and the public can now enjoy a coffeehouse that still retains the essence of a historic grange hall.
During the Great Depression, the Thurston County Fair adapted, creating an annual multi-day 4-H Harvest Festival held in late August or early September.
