The Kitsap County Fair Advisory Board recently announced the 2008 recipients of the John Chittenden Memorial Scholarships.

Each recipient will receive $1,000. Funding for the scholarships is provided by the Dance for a Wish fund-raiser held annually in March.

This is the second year the board has awarded the scholarships.

In 2008, the scholarship was renamed in honor of John Chittenden, who died suddenly in 2007 while serving as board president and commercial exhibits director.

The 2009 application is available online at www.kitsapgov.com/parks/Fair_Stampede.htm. This year’s recipients are Laura Henning of Silverdale, Scott Boekenoogen of Poulsbo and Peter Crabtree of Kingston.
