The Puyallup Fair Begins Sept. 10 Feel your spirits lift when you visit the Puyallup Fair, Sept. 10-26 Puyallup, WA – March 19, 2010 – Whether you are five years old or 95, your spirits will immediately lift the moment you pass through the turnstile at the Puyallup Fair. Each step is lighter and you are more carefree. With that lighthearted thought in mind, it is fitting that the 2010 advertising campaign for the Sept. 10-26 Puyallup Fair features the theme, Free Your Glee. Accompanying the theme is a logo featuring a whimsical Holstein cow riding a unicycle. The graphic subtly reminds viewers of the strong animal/agricultural base of the Puyallup Fair, which started in 1900, as well as the variety of free entertainment stages and strolling acts, including unicycle riding. The lighthearted approach brings out the “glee” in all of us. Start: 8:00 am
