Just a little more of the Fair

While we were actually there for several hours, I realized after we got home that we could have stayed for many more hours to see all the attractions that were available at the Fair. For example, roving entertainment was provided (according to the official 'Program') by The Bobbers, the official Evergreen State Fair Roving Band and Eric Haines (Comedy/Stilts/Juggling - I wonder if we DID actually see him!) There was a Texting Contest, an ice cream contest (and I missed it!) an egg toss, chain saw carving and a photo op with 'your favorite KIRO TV personality!' We did see the 'Sow and Litter' display as well as the 'Llama and Alpaca Display' but somehow missed the 'Northwest Native American Display' - though I wonder which ones of them were willing to actually BE on display. Contests were aplenty: 4-H Dogs Novice Sits & Downs, OC Forages Judging Christmas Trees (huh?,) a 4-H Dairy Goats Groom Squad, and Pigeon Judging. There was even a 'Cavy Bowl' which made me wonder if it was anything like 'cat bowling' - you'll have to ask Todd. Unfortunately we also missed the YMCA Silver Steppers, the lip sync contest and Karaoke. Alas. And Sheep Shearing Demos.

One other thing I noticed about the schedule - they close the Dog Barn at 8pm because of the Fireworks. What dog owner can't understand that?

Until next year...
