Any of you get to experience some of the good ole day festivals.?

Todd brought up Sea-fair and it was good back in the day but still fairly regulated.


However.........

Did you ever attend the Tri City boat races back in the 80's???

Apple Blossom in Wenatchee????

Lake Chelan on the 4th???

True shindigs of the highest magnitude.


On a smaller note perhaps Salmo remembers this???


OR Perhaps the D00 WA Ditty in Maytown back around 1990ish??


Oh mercy.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Mason County Forest Festival was awesome when I was a kid. Lots of tough loggers doing tough logger stuff and a big parade.

I haven't been in years.

Still going, but we always had Puyallup Fair days as a kid growing up.
You always got a half day off and got tickets to the fair.

Grid Go Round in Lincoln Bowl in Tacoma always started the HS football season for the city league schools.
Really too bad they [Bleeeeep!] that one up.

I know its not WA, but Texas State Fair is on my bucket list. It sounds insane and probably about as unregulated as one can get by today’s standards.

I've been once and it is totally bonkers insane. If it can be deep fried, you can find it there. The people watching is worth the price of admission alone - so many fat people with many HOT farmers daughters mixed in. And then you have the Red River Rivalry at the same time. It's NUTS!

Deep fried Coke for the win. Get in my mouth now!

Apple Blossom Festival back in the day was EPIC! We'd caravan over from Lake Stevens and take bets on who all would spend a night in jail.

I grew up near Wenatchee. Apple Blossom was always huge, as was local fairs. 4th of July at Chelan was fun too.

The PNW btw is not a great place to be a nudist. Too cold = stack of dimes = not impressing the ladies.

Strawberry Festival when I lived in England was nothing short of epic.
Three days straight of dancing and partying,
eating molly and shrooms like they were vitamins...those were the days.

Rainbow Valley was lame.

Lakefair was lamer.

Sky River Rock Festival, scaled down versions of Woodstock, those festivals were the shizzle! Naked girls dancing up near the stage. Naked girls dancing way back from the stage. It was sorta' like the girls forgot to bring any clothes. And when it began to cool down at night, the party heated up.
