Our home state is First Place in our hearts for FAIRS. On Whidbey Island it is our own Island County Fair, at the Fairgrounds just outside Langley. A 4 (Four) - H Fair, it draws young contestants from all over the county to show off their prize winning animals, their horsemanship, their agricultural skills and their beautiful crafts. It may be small, but it is the biggest thing in our hearts during the summer.
On a grander scale is the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, in the spring. It is the real deal, with three permanent roller coasters. One of them, the huge “Classic”, is the last remaining on-site fairgrounds wooden coaster. A trip to “The Fair” is not complete without curly French Fries, a warm Fisher’s Scone with strawberry jam, Fresh squeezed lemonade, and a Pickle on a Stick (ok, that’s not an F, coz if it were it would be a Fickle on a Stickle).
Drawn from my old, bad photos and some nice new ones I found on the internet.
