The Cutest County Fair

The Kitsap County Fair and Stampede, only two words can aptly describe this event: SOOO CUTE! (or 4H Heaven... depending on your focus :)


You can find the Kitsap county fair grounds right here in rural outer Silverdale. The grounds are made up of half a dozen permanent structures, most labeled with a different type of farm raised animal, and two halls, a few fields and a small rodeo stadium. Picturesque!


Saturday was a perfect day - sunny, warm, beautiful - and EVERYONE in the county was out to enjoy it! We walked the entire fair, viewing every animal on display and stopping by every vendor... in about 2 hours. Luckily on the main stage there were a few shows to watch, a hypnotist and one of the funniest comedy skit shows I've ever seen: Brothers From Different Mothers. Apparently, they are a pretty big Seattle act, voted #1 show for a few years now. They were great.


The high point of the day was when CHAD WON ME A HEDGEHOG!!!! It was hilarious... I saw someone holding one, and Chad said he'd get me one, no matter what it took! Come to find out it wasn't going to be much of a challenge... See, the hedgehog was the smallest prize, at the easiest game - the one where you fish a ducky out of a "pond" and you get the prize written on its butt, which 98% of the time is a S (for small prize!) He did it though, he got me the perfect hedgehog. He loves me!


We weren't able to make it to the Rodeo/Stampede part of the fair - we had just gotten there too early, and there just wasn't quite enough to do until 7pm when it started. But now that we know the routine, we'll plan better next year.
