Put your Carnival Food Craving on Spin Cycle at the Puyallup Fair

Posted by Josh on September 11th, 2007

You’re making the annual pilgrimage to corn dogs, elephant ears and just about anything that will fit in a deep fryer, right? And then you’ll be stepping onto a ride that measures its value in degrees of centrifugal force, right? I’m talking, of course, about the Puyallup Fair, September 7 - 23. You may go for the food and carnival rides, but I’ll be there to watch the wax artists dip flowers, body parts and whatever else you want (as long as it doesn’t entail breaking the law) in their vat of epoxy and memorialize it forever as either a mummified or cast sculpture. Something tells me I won’t see any students from the Pilchuck Glass School taking notes.
