Want to be an Internet writer for us at The Puyallup Fair? Just like last year, The News Tribune plans to blog the 17-day run of the fair in September (which I think makes it a tradition).

We're looking for volunteers who love the fair and would enjoy sharing their observations with our readers. In addition to the blog on our web site, some of the writing and photos will be published in the newspaper. If you are good at finding sweet deals, making off-the-cuff observations and providing spontaneous reports on things to do and places to avoid, contact Melissa Santos by email or call her at (253) 552-7058.
