How to do The Puyallup Fair
Friday, September 19th, 2008
Posted by FairBlogger @ 01:43:45 pm

We enjoyed an earthquake burger for lunch and meandered through the Americraft Showplex checking out the vendors and contemplating what goods would work best in our households. Both Catherine and I never come to a fair without getting our handwriting analyzed. Among the many revealing personality traits I "have many artistic and creative talents". Catherine is "witty and bright". Boy do we love this! I did allow Catherine to get her lottery tickets and she talked me into getting one myself- using our lucky numbers from our horoscopes (I wonder which will be the luckier one???)

So much to do so little time. Unfortunately we have to depart for our regular lives but will leave you with some little known facts we have discovered.

An earthquake burger and an order of fries will easily feed a family of four. There is always the opportunity to meet a real cowboy, Fred Oldfield, at the Heritage Center (by the red gate). You can get a free "lucky" marble under the grandstand. And please remember when or if you cross Meridian with the police officers directing traffic - they also control the walk sign so you don't have to press the button on the post over and over and over again.

We will definitely be back next year
