Fall Events and the Fair(s)

Earlier today, I was working on our monthly events calendar (the What's Happening column in the magazine) and noticed that the number of events for the year is starting to wind down. There is still plenty going on in September, but after that, as the chilly dampness sets in, only a few brave souls have events to post. This is both good and bad...less to choose from means fewer events we have to miss in order to attend one. It's also sad, because we often have great fall weather in October, and it's a shame to not have group rides and events to attend.

This month, however, we have the NW Washington Fair here in Whatcom County, then the Puyallup Fair further south in September. Our sales manager and I are definitely going to the NW Washington Fair next week to see some horses, not to mention the pigs, cows, chickens, llamas, and whatever else we can find. Then there's the fair food. Sometimes you just *need* a funnel cake, right? The fair falls right on time to celebrate the sendoff of the September issue to the printer, so we hope to see a few of you there to help us celebrate the good timing.

I'm not sure if I'll make it down to "moo" the Puyallup this year, but I hope I can. I've never had anything but a great time at that fair.
