Why the Puyallup Fair makes me smile


1. One word: Scones.

2. The millions of different ways people can spend hundreds of dollars on...well...junk.

Who really needs a bouquet of wooden roses? A $400 blender? A pink leopard print hat with feather trim? A flourescent green stuffed frog the size of a four-year-old? Anyone?

3. Muttin Bustin'.

This is the newest fair sport where parents pay $10 to throw their toddlers on the backs of sheep. No saddles. No harnesses. Just three year olds holding on for dear life and basking in mini-me rodeo glory. Too cute...

4. Crazy rides

It may be a little known fact, but I LOVE crazy rides. If it goes upside down, backwards, spins in circles or jerks you up and down 8 stories, I'm in. Save the other rides for the kids...

5. It's all about (sometimes goofy, tacky and cheesy) fun.
