Palouse Empire Fair

We make it a tradition to got the Palouse Fair  in Colfax every year.  We made the mistake and left for the fair the same time a WSU football game was over.  It was against Eastern so everyone was headed back to Cheney, Spokane or Seattle.  It was funny because the house, before the old Albion road, was having a yard sale and the traffic suddenly slowed down to 25 mph but once we passed the yard sale everyone was going 60 again.  I guess we had people gawking at the sale.

Welcome to what Pullman is like on game day.

Andrew loved seeing all the animals and tried to feed each one some hay or straw, but nevertheless the animals didn’t want to eat it.

Of course we have to play on the tractors when we go.  Aaron and Uncle Tyler tried to convince us they needed one of these tractors and were trying to figure out the logistics of all of it. Aunt Kate and I just rolled our eyes.

We also checked out the exhibit barns and saw a cool carnival set that Andrew was mesmerized with.  He also enjoyed drawing circles on the big chalkboard.  And of course Andrew and Aaron had to ohh and ahh over all the lego sets.

We watched part of the rodeo, but Andrew got bored.  We ate some traditional fair food and had a good time walking around the fair.
