The WA state fair is called the Evergreen Fair, and it is in August each year, because that is when "fair-like" weather is here. It's smaller than the TX state fair, but still fun, and you can definitely do it all in a day - especially with three small kids in tow. We went with our good friends, thank goodness we have some good friends here to keep us up on all that is going on! The fair is in Monroe, WA which I immediately recognized as a town very similar to Mesquite, TX where I grew up, but more how it was about 20-25 years ago, when it was a true rodeo town. Lots of little boutique shops and restaurants, lots of rednecks, hunters, fishers, rodeos and monster truck events! The bumper stickers were hilarious (to me because I grew up in a redneck town - lots of gun, hunting, and republican sentiments displayed.. felt like home.) :-) If there was anywhere my parents would like to live here in WA, this place would be it! Even the little gazebo in the downtown city square!
Wish I would have gotten a close up pic of the second truck from the left below, the bumper stickers were HILARIOUS!
The food was good fair food, but not so many fried concoctions as TX (I am still a Texan, so tend to still compare everything to TX, who knows when/if this will ever end), but we way overindulged as usual. We had corn dogs, shared curly fries, cotton candy, popcorn, mini-donuts, and elephant ears (like funnel cakes)! Yummy, but ugh.
