Blogging is a funny thing. There are tons of things to blog about here at the fair. The one thing that I keep thinking of is my Dad.
So Dad, this one's for you.
I want to say thank you. Thank you for the good memories from Puyallup Fair. Thank you for spending your hard earned cash on food, games, rides, and souvenirs. Thank you for letting make a Doo-Dah sand bird. Thank you for letting me get a black and white old fashioned picture taken. Thank you for standing around while I rode on endless rides. Thanks for spoiling me with scones, crusty pups, and cotton candy. Thank you for allowing me to have one of my first dates at the fair, going to the Beach boys concert. I haven't forgotten all the fun I had and how patient you were.
Now I have my own kids. Guess what. I am now standing at the Matterhorn waiting for them, just like you did. They are begging for a Doo-Dah sand birds. They want to play games and ride rides. They have enjoyed a Crusty pup and would love some cotton candy. Who knows, they may bring their first date here too.
The fair has treated generations of families to fun every year. It is exciting to know that I am giving my boys the same memories you gave me.
Dad, you are the best. Thank you.
