We Did the Puyallup!

There are many versions of a popular song around here this time of year. It's called "Do The Puyallup" and is about going to the fair. To hear a country version or a gospel version click on http://www.thefair.com/puyallup-fair/fair-experience/song.php

Paul and I, retired folks that we are, took eight hours last Wednesday and went. From noon until nine we did the Puyallup! It was lots of fun.

It was a school day, but you wouldn't know it from the crowds. Someone told me that some of the schools around here have "field days" where the whole class goes. I think there were lots of kids having a personal field day as well!

Aren't these long-eared goats cute?

Paul enjoys the commercial buildings to see what wonderful gadgets the hucksters are selling. My favorites are the animals, hobbies, quilts and flowers.

This goat wasn't afraid to get up close and personal!

"Sure! Go ahead and take my picture."

An eight-year old girl grew this pumpkin weighing over 1000 pounds!

Pretty interesting jack-o-lantern!

These arrangements of fruits and vegetables are amazing.

There were wonderful flower displays including these dahlias.

It's on for one more week.

Come do the Puyallup with us!
