Double your fun on the annual Feature Fair Tour with visits to two fairs! Join us Sept. 24-26 as we tour the Puyallup Fair and the Centeral Washington State Fair. Don't miss out, reserve your spot on this exciting tour by Aug. 31!

Puyallup Fair, Sept. 24-25
Puyallup, Washington

The Puyallup Fair and Events Center is one of the largest rental facilities in the Pacific Northwest and is hailed as an environmental leader in the region. Review the efforts made to reduce, reuse and recycle. See Billy Currington with special guest Uncle Kracker with complimentary tickets from the fair. Watch the Barham award-winning Mutton' Bustin' show or hop on the train for a ride in the 120-foot mine-shaft-themed tunnel complete with a 3-D dinosaur mural. And, don't forget to ride the fair's permanent roller-coaster and eat a famous Earthquake Burger with Walla-Walla onions.

Central Washington Fair, Sept. 25-26
Yakima, Washington

The annual fair in Yakima is truly a showcase of agriculture with world-renowned Grange displays, livestock and horticultural exhibits and farm equipment. Sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful ride over the Chinook Pass Highway to Yakima with a stop at the world famous Whistlin' Jacks Lodge for lunch. Tour the recently remodeled 100-year-old buildings and get a behind the scenes look at the Sun Dome, a covered arena used for concerts, rodeos and more. Meet and greet the Central Washington State Fair Board and staff members at a wine and cheese reception. Later, rock out to the Guess Who or watch the American Sprint Car Races with complimentary tickets from the fair.
