    We just went to the Washington State Fair yesterday! Did you miss all the animals? That's half the fun of the fair. I was a little disappointed that you were in the history section but failed to include anything about the Japanese Internment display that was just beyond the bumper car you were in. Love your videos. Keep it up!

    Off topic from this video, but I wanted to say that you inspired me and my partner to drive Historic Route 66 from Tulsa to Flagstaff earlier this month. It was our first major road trip together and we enjoyed it so much that we plan to make road trips a permanent part of our lives. Please know that you do have a positive impact on people. Keep it up!

      When I was at that same fair, there were a lot of people walking around with prizes, so I think the odds were just better all around. I've never seen people with prizes at any other fair he's gone to, and not even at the Western Washington (or Evergreen) Fair which ends like 2 days before the Washington State Fair begins.

      @@FrenkTheJoy Actually most state fairs are pretty much the same layout. Visit the NY fair then visit the Florida fair and if you didn't know where you was, you might mix not be able to tell. Of course every fair has some area that is related to the state your in. Florida fair has the pioneer village showing Florida living many years ago. NY fair has an area of American Indian tribes that live in the area, or lived in the area.

    Hey Jacob! I just wanna correct you on something. There are only 48 State fairs in the US. Connecticut and Rhode Island do not have state fairs, and states like Pennsylvania do not have official state fairs (the Allentown fair or the Grange fair are the closest to a state fair).

    Oh also I wanted to say one of the hot tub booths at the fair is actually a store that sells hot tubs and fireplaces, they're a local business. My mom said it used to be a super common thing for people to specifically buy hot tubs and mattresses at fairs. I guess it sort of makes sense, since you don't need either of those to be frequent purchases and if your mattress starts to need replacing it's usually not urgent enough to run out to buy one right then.
    Also I don't know if you saw the foot massagers all around the fair? Half of them are chairs that are shaped like hands even though they're foot massagers. The other half are shaped like feet. It's 50 cents for a massage!

    "Us locals" call this fair the "Puyallup Fair". That's how it was known for many years until the State demanded its "real name" be used in all marketing. Search "Do The Puyallup" theme song, you won't be disappointed. It's the greatest fair theme song of all times! By the way, it's pronounced, "Pew-L-up" You can add a tiny bit of an "a" as in "all" (but keep the "a" sound very brief) if you're not actually a Pew-L-up native.
