This weekend, along with hoards of other people, we went to the Puyallup Fair. This fair has been around for eons (ok, not really eons, but decades, anyway) & is held twice a year in spring & in the fall. All the traditional fair type stuff can be found here, gardening, cooking, animals, food & rides. The theme this time was "Free Your Glee." Sorry, I don't get it, is it a reference to the show Glee (I love this show, by the way) & if so, why does this relate to a county fair? Was there a singing contest? I don't know. There were musical performances. Kid Rock was there (he's doing county fairs, now?) & we saw a brief part of some show where the entire group wore jumpsuits. The lead singer made reference to a 70's leisure suit he had in his closet, but from where I was standing he was born in the 70's, if he experienced the 70's at all. If he has a leisure suit in his closet, he must have bought it for the retro appeal !
