Local Food and Fun at Regional Fairs!

Now that summer is starting to wrap up, we are seeing and hearing more about local state and county fairs.

Here in Western Washington, the excitement is starting to mount for the annual Puyallup Fair. My children look forward to this fair each year, and I must admit that I don'tsavor the crowds but I DOlove looking at the livestock, the 4-H exhibits, the food and agricultural displays. The fair runs from September 7-23 and some of the new foodoptions on deck this year willinclude Monster Yard of Lemonade, Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs, Slush Ice Cream, and the Cowgirl Candy Cones. I haven't had any of these items yet, but I just might have to put them on my Puyallup Fair "to do list."

For more information on events, competitions, discounts, parking, concerts, rides, and rodeos, check out the official website here.

Do you have any favorite fairs in your region?
