No posting tonight
We went to the
Northwest Washington Fair this afternoon.
An annual event and a lot of fun to go to. It isn't as '
commercialized' as the other large fairs in this area (specifically the Puyallup) and it has maintained its strong agricultural roots with not only the animal displays and 4H and FFA but also wonderful displays of canning, quilting, and many of the other rural arts.
They do have live music and tonights performer was none other than
Merle Haggard in a sold-out show.
A bit on the short side but really really good! His band is downright amazing - very talented musicians all.
And next week, the
PRCA Lynden Rodeo (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association)
Summer may be winding down but these early fall events are very much looked forward to...
