The Puyallup Fair 2010

Going to see the quilts is one of my favorite things at the Fair (second only to the scones!). I usually go see these while Ray and Chloe go on the rides. But this year, it was so wet that they just waited for me to quickly go through the exhibit.


Little kid playing with the Mutton at the Mutton-Busting! Too funny!


One of our favorite events is the Mutton Busting...little kids try to ride the sheep as long as they can. Not a lot of entries this year...there was a lot of rain and mud! We still enjoyed watching, though.


Here's me with the bunny at the petting zoo!


Aaahhh...love the petting zoo!

We probably could have used the warmth during the Fair!


It was raining the day we went to the Fair, but we still visited all of our favorite places.



Giant pumpkin! Love these. They are usually by the Giant Corn and the old-fashioned cabin.

When we go to the Fair, we get there early and get a scone first thing!

Puyallup Fair

Chloe, Ray and I went to the Puyallup Fair yesterday.  It was a chilly morning, and we got there very early before the gates even opened.  It warmed up really nicely, and by the time we left, it was very crowded.

I love going to the Puyallup Fair every year.  The first thing I do after I get in the gates is go directly to the Fisher Scone trailer and get scones.  The next thing I like to do is look at the animals, especially the cavies and bunnies.  Some years, due to Chloe's schedule, we miss the weekends with the cavies (guinea pigs), since they're not there the whole time, but this year we got there just in time for the Cavy Fit and Show.  

Another thing I love to do is look at the Hobby Hut and then go to the Pavilion to look at the Quilts, needlework, paintings, and photos.  After about 4 1/2 hours of walking around, eating Fair Food and looking at things, we were all about ready to go home.

This was from the 4H Cavy Fit and Show.  What a little cute guy!  I miss my little guinea pigs.

I also tried out my video recording feature on my camera, and got some videos of the cavies and rabbits.  I could have stayed there in the 4H barns for hours.
