THE PUYALLUP FAIR
Today was the Puyallup Fair Parade, where the rodeo bulls are run through the city streets. This year they had volunteers prepared in case one of the cattle decided to enter a convenience store, as happened last year.
It was also the opening day of the fair, where all of the cheapskates (such as Troy's Work Table) can get in free for the first two hours. The Child and I donated our cans of green beans and peaches for the Puyallup Food Bank and entered the gates of the world's eighth largest fair.
We wandered animal barn upon animal barn, until we could no longer look at another row of livestock. Then we ate fair food and wandered home.
The lead bull of the parade was a bit scary, running at a good speed and weaving back and forth from one side of the street to the other, looking for a break in the crowd. Thankfully, everyone survived this running of the bulls.
