Final Week to Enter: Win Tickets to the Puyallup Fair, 'Get Your Happy On!'

Our contest is now closed. But the Fair is open through Sept 23!

We've heard the questions: What's been missing in my life these past few months? How can I put an exclamation point on my summer? And can that exclamation point include fried food on a stick?

Here at Patch, we have your answer — better still, we'll give it to you for free.

Sign up for a Patch newsletter today and you will be entered to win one of dozens of free pairs of tickets to the Puyallup Fair, which runs Sept. 7-23. Even better, if you tell us why we should send your whole family, you'll get a chance to win the Patch Family Pack: 

• four fair tickets (kids 5 and under are free, by the way)

• a Patch tote bag to hold those fair souvenirs

• assorted Patch goodies such as magnets, pens and balloons

• and a story and photo of you and your family on Bellevue Patch. 

Here's how: Simply fill out the form for a chance to win a pair of tickets. If you want the family pack, write us a note in the comments section at the end of this story explaining in 200 words or less why Patch should send you and your family to the state's biggest fair. 

We've handed out tickets to winners for the past two weeks and this coming Thursday we'll hand out our final pair of tickets and one family pack to lucky winners from Mercer Island. Winners will be notified by email. 

See you at the Puyallup!

Here's the fine print (click on the attached PDF for complete official rules):

  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
  • To enter, sign up for the newsletter in the form above with your name, email and Patch town.
  • All entries must be received by Sept. 13, 2012, noon Pacific time.
  • You may enter as often as you want.
  • Individual winners and family pack winners will be selected in a random drawing on Mercer Island. Tickets are valued at $12.50 each. Fair parking is not included and is the responsbility of the winner. Limit one prize per household.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J

That is the best commentary on the subject to date. This should be on the front page of every localRead More newspaper. Finally pressure to bear. Thank you!!!

Excellent assessments today, both by Mr. Horn here, and by Mr. Cero in today's MI Reporter. The keyRead More is that we need new blood in both the legislature, and in our City Council, to actually better understand the problems at hand and potential real solutions we'll need. Many of our elected and appointed officials are poorly representing their constituency. For example, Ms. Clibborn could readily put the brakes on this I-90 tolling tax diversion to fund 520 fiasco, in a heartbeat, through her leadership position for state transportation. But despite that tolling is a terrible precedent, and could even undermine the entire national interstate highway system, Ms. Clibborn is CHOOSING NOT TO fight I-90 bridge tolling. Apparently she and some of our waffling weak kneed Council members have made their choices about this issue, and about other debacles, like our seriously flawed highly subsidized mass transit, and our pending loss of carpool lanes. Now it is approaching the time to make our decisions, in the next election.

Great article Jim. So despite the bad decisions and bad policy by the legislature, we can gatherRead More that the way out of this mess is to raise gas tax appropriately to pay for the roads. Additionally I might add, we can scale down on the upgrades and delay constructing the approaches to the 520 bridge. Scaling back these upgrades should not affect the safety or construction schedule of the 520 bridge and may eliminate the funding shortage entirely.
