Day 3 - A Hot and Lazy Summer Fair Day

The morning began with great promise; a very interested couple even before the fair was officially open. It ended well; speaking with clients who were moving into a new home and needed my services again. In between - well, let's just say there was ample time for reflection. And who can blame anyone - the morning started out warm and proceeded to get even warmer. By mid-afternoon everyone was looking a little wilted. Thankfully, as the sun set, a cooler breeze swept through the Fairgrounds, bringing some relief.

I had a brief chance today to enjoy some Fair food, and to watch others enjoying perennial favorites. Unique to the Northwest Washington Fair are poffertjes, delicious little pillows of donuts sprinkled with icing sugar and garnished with buttery cream. Curly fries by the plateful are consumed; kettle corn is always a tasty treat. But the biggest lineups are always at one of the Dairy Women's booths. There you can purchase delicious ice cream treats, especially the Moowiches and lusciously thick milkshakes. Add to that a wide variety of burgers, Fair scones, ethnic foods too many to list, and top the entire concoction off with an Avalanche from Lynden's own Woods Coffee and a handful of candy floss. What a treat for the taste buds!

But enough about the Fair experience. The week is halfway through already. Time to massage my aching feet and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow will be another long day!
