We saw the stampede parade & then went to the fair . nice enough. Although white Washington people aren't exactly known for their sense of humor or hospitality, they do their best.( And some also have an inclination to STARE. They don't seem to know they are doing it ).
At the free chocolate milk booth I joked to the lady "Does this come from the brown cows ? " And she DIDN'T even laugh. Pray for those who are DEPRESSED.
And a guy at the archery exhibit snapped at me for taking pictures saying "Are you just taking pictures of anybody?" As if there's something wrong with capturing what photographers call
" local color".
YES, we photograph REAL LIFE including sometimes people we "don't know" in PUBLIC which is totally legal and NOTHING wrong with it.
Finally, $41 bucks for rodeo tickets (that's per ticket) is ridiculous. Most county or state fairs I've been to (& that's a LOT) include the evening entertainment with price of admission or at least only charge maybe $10 extra. I was stunned. Rodeo is NOT that thrilling. It's average entertainment.
SO they get 3 stars for an average experience.
