Identity theft can cost you thousands of dollars, damage your credit and credibility, and leave you with a feeling of vulnerability.

On Saturday, Aug. 4, the Pierce County Fair and its partners at Cintas Document Management will offer free document shredding at the Pierce County Fair’s North Gate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The fair is located at Frontier Park in Graham.

After reducing your risk from identity theft, you can also reduce your cost of admission to the Pierce County Fair, which runs Aug. 9-12. You will receive a voucher to purchase special “pre-season” admission tickets for just $3. Tickets must be purchased before Aug. 9, and are available at the Pierce County Fair office.
