Here are some things I learned from my mom about the art of Doin' the Puyallup:
1) Start out early in the day to avoid the crowds.
2) The only scones that count are the ones you buy at the booth under the grandstands.
3) It IS possible to park for free.
4) Nobody with a lick of sense needs to go on more than 3 rides.
My son and I got our season passes, complete with photos, at the Gold Gate today. We are serious about our Fair and will be reporting back here each day and look forward to hearing about your Fair experiences over the next 17 days.
Here's the tip I would add to my mom's list:
1) Take off your watch.
This is a major tenet of the One Day Vacation state of mind. There's nowhere else you need to be. Let yourself be absorbed by the sight and sound sensation that is The Fair.
What are your ideas for making the most of your One Day Vacation at the The Fair?

Sal--
In recent years, we always plan our feet-rest times around The Konzelman Family Band and Billy and the Hillbillies. Great concerts! Konzelmans are home-grown Puyallup folk with lots of talent and the Hillbillies are just lots of fun--from Carmel, CA or some such hickville.
My little kids love the FREE strawberry and chocolate milk samples at the Wilcox dairy barn--fine WA dairy.
Have fun every day for me!
Great tips! We sampled the egg nog at the Wilcox barn but we haven't even scratched the surface of the free entertainment yet. Stay tuned!
