So far, this has been an upsetting year all around. So the brief interlude at the Puyallup Fair was a welcome getaway from the the ugliness around us. We went on a weekday (last Friday), so the crowds were light, parking was plentiful, and the exhibits we wanted to see were open.

First stop: 4H Cats They are mostly well-loved household pets, and their young servants doll up their cages with various themes. Even the sign was cute.

Very clever! Milo of the Catina is asleep in his bed at lower right. Most of the kitties we saw were asleep, even through all the hubbub surrounding them. Cute grass skirt on the litter box.

This servant (all humans are the servants of the cats who own them) had a circus theme, well done! The orange-tabby cat is at lower right in his circus big tent bed. We were fascinated by his patterned fur.

Next stop: Horses! I have been horse-crazy since I was a kid, so I always love watching the young riders warming up outside, then competing in the arena.

I have always been fond of Appaloosa horses.

Next stop: Sillyville (rides)

We were fascinated by the old, wood-framed roller coaster, which dates from 1929! I took some photos from various angles.

Then, we bought some tickets, and headed to the vicinity of our favorite ride, the Tilt-a-Whirl. On the way we admired more rides, in all their bright colors, with the sounds of screaming kids.

Finally, after we ate some obligatory Fair expensive food, we went by the Agriculture building, to view the elaborate exhibits done by Granges from Western Washington. Every year, they come up with different displays of all the products grown and sold in their area. They are always very colorful and imaginative.

Yes, there really is a town called Humptulips (get your mind out of the gutter!), on the Olympic Peninsula in the upper left corner of Washington.

They had a competition for People’s Choice, and my vote went to the owl-themed exhibit.

Our final stop in this building was the Floral displays, and it was hard to choose which one was the most beautiful, since they were all wonderful.

Exhibitors put a lot of effort into their entries, and it showed. The florals were a riot of color, except for the Bonsai trees (upper left corner), where simplicity was the objective.

I wasn’t sure whether to leave the worst for last, but I decided to let you see the best of the fair first. Given that Western Washington is as deep blue as anywhere in America, there’s no getting away from the disgusting depths that the Left will stoop to in their drive to tear down Western Civilization. One of the fair buildings had old exhibits from earlier fairs, covering vehicles, rides, and buildings. Here are a couple of the exhibits.

I loved that Art Deco bumper car! On the way out, I happened to glance at the “guest book” posted at the entrance. I am sorry that I can’t un-see this.

This kind of disgusting sentiment must be rooted out, and cannot be allowed to take over America. Unfortunately, Seattle is a hotbed of this kind of activity.

Anyway, Hubby and I had a great time at the Fair, in spite of the above.
