No Fried Oreos

, no oranges filled with red slushie, no fried twinkies, no chocolate-dipped bananas, no fried cheesecake on a stick, no orangeade, no sushi.

Instead of having much of the fair fare everyone is used to at these types of events, the Puyallup Fair had scone stands (with jam and clotted cream... the works) everywhere. We had to wait on a line way longer than a scone's throw to get our baker's dozen.

In addition to a (hilariously bad) dog show, they had a llama show in which llamas had to walk up stairs, step through a hoop, go backwards, maneuver cones, and scuttle past a fan that made a lot of noise.
A main attraction at this huge fair is Mutton Bustin': the hottest sport on wool. If you've never witnessed this (as I hadn't), it involves four-year-old kids, a huge sheep, and lots of holding on.
Giddy up.
