First, we had to check out the Smart Cars. I-5 Motors was displaying a few from their inventory. These are two-seater vehicles popular in Europe. Various reports indicate they get anywhere from 40 to 60 miles to the gallon, and the prices seem to run around $25,000-$30,000. That's too pricey for us, but they were pretty cute!
While at the fair we did a bunch of looking around and found some amazing results from the pumpkin carving contest. Here is Clay with just one example.
Of course we enjoyed our annual fair burgers with the Walla Walla sweet onions. As we got to the fair later in the day, we stayed later into the evening. There was a Credence Clearwater concert which started about 7. We didn't sit in the grandstand to watch the concert, but the music was playing loudly enough we were able to enjoy it as we walked around looking for such goodies as kettle corn. Here's one view of the nighttime sights.
All in all it was a fun day at the fair. As the commercial proclaims, "It's a Doozy!"

Well, well, I took the day off Thursday and went to the fair with Dick's two nieces! I didn't see the I-5 Motors display--don't know how I could have missed it because we certainly seemed to "make the rounds" of everything there was to see! The quilts were gorgeous and the artwork we saw was equally inspiring. Then there were the piglets that were adorably cute and playful! It certainly was a doozy!
