How to do The Puyallup Fair
Friday, September 19th, 2008
Posted by FairBlogger @ 10:35:11 am
We've started our day with scones and coffee, and watched the 4-H'rs show their horses. If you want an enjoyable time to just sit and enjoy something, this is the place to be! We don't understand the procedures for judging but the smiles on the handlers faces makes you smile too.
Our next stop was the draft horse barn. Those Percherons, Belgiums, Clydsdales, and Shetlands are quite impressive. I guess riding one of those will sure make my butt look smaller =)
On our way out the sound of bagpipes drew us over to the cattle showplace. And lo and behold the highland cattle show was in full swing. We met Jan the bagpiper who was serenading the shaggy headed cattle during the judging.
