The Puyallup was did.
September 17, 2008 | FUN!
Wow, guys! Thanks so much for all that encouragement on my last post. Seriously, never hesitate to compliment a pregnant woman. But be warned, she just may cry on you. The other night in the middle of Zumba, a very nice younger gal told me she hoped she was able to do Zumba when she was pregnant someday, and I was so surprised and touched I had to make a fuss over my water bottle so I didn’t tear up. It doesn’t take much these days.
Anyway, The Puyallup! I didn’t take as many pictures as I normally do, mostly because it’s hard to photo document while stuffing your face, but here are a few things I have to show you.
Check out this bunny:
Are you giggling? Do you need to see him again?
Wouldn’t you freak out if that thing hopped into your yard?
One of my favorite places to visit at the fair is the Floral Barn (dork) where you can see all the prize winning flowers and arrangements. They also have things like orchids and bonsai trees, where we saw something almost as unusual as that bunny:
As you can see, someone has combined their love of bonsai tree cultivation and Nascar. Huh!
I was quite sad that I couldn’t go on the big roller coaster this year, due to the fetus, but SB and I went on the Sky Ride after dark and looked down at all the twinkly lights below. I hadn’t been on it since highschool, when I was asked to Homecoming by a sweaty, nervous boy.
SB did not ask me to Homecoming, but a good time was had by all. Stay tuned for a shot of my favorite part of the Fair, the Produce Murals, of course. (even dorkier)

I love the grange displays, the animals, and all the food stuff. My heart just about broke when Patrick lost his mind before we could make it there. I don’t care that it’s terribly cliched: the fair is Totally Different with the 15 month old. I’m so jealous.

Some of us had our grange win. I’m not sayin’ who, but I think we all know. And by we, I mean local produce nerds.

Ah the fair…sigh. I love the fair, it’s so nostolgic.
The words “Puyallup” and “NASCAR” together in the same post reminded me of this Indy movie that one of my ex’s looooved. It’s called MulletVille. Have you seen it? It is awful and funny all at the same time. It kind of reminds me of my hometown.

sizzle: I know! Everyone around that cage was pointing and laughing!
chickadee: TOtally. The animals, the education building, the produce murals, the flower barn, I hit em all.
Jenny: Stop! I was hoping we had at least two more Fairs where we could be on our own agenda. Just one?
Edward: I know! *nerd high five* Doesn’t it win every year?
Brooke: Mulletville sounds sweet. Is it set in Puyallup?

I’ve never seen us lower than 3rd, and I think that about 2/5 of the time we take 1st. Yay Waller!

Yes, Mulletville is set in Puyallup. It’s a “documentary” about a kid in film school coming home to Puyallup for his cousins big annual party (or something along those lines, it has been a while.) It completely stereotypes people, but all in good fun!
