Clark County Fair

We went to the opening day of the Clark County Fair in Ridgefield. Fred Meyer offered free tickets up until noon on opening day, and the C-Tran offers free shuttle service to the fair so the total cost of the fair ended up being completely free. Fred Meyer also offered a free pancake breakfast until 11AM which we took advantage of.

It was a nice warm day, and everyone was enjoying all the festivities. We walked around and looked at all the animals. There were goats, chickens, horses, birds, etc. There was a circus show, and more activities happening all throughout the day. The kids went on rides, and I was amazingly surprised at the number of rides offered at the fair. The marketplace was a bit lacking though. I was hoping to see more unique vendors, but it ended up being hot tub vendors, bed vendors, pillow vendors, etc. I supposed one does not go to the fair to buy what I had in my mind, but that would be my only complaint.

If you haven't gone, go!!! There is a ton of things to do, and ton of things for everyone in the family. The C-Tran offers free shuttle service so if you have the option, I would suggest taking the shuttle. From the fair, the bus comes every hour so that's something to consider and plan for.

Fun at the Library

After having gone to a teeny, tiny library, I was pleasantly surprised that the library here was ginormous! The children section was spectacular. There are all these mobiles that kids can play at. Mason absolutely loved touching each little thing, and the sounds that he can make by clinking things together or sliding them around. There are little seats for kids to lay on and sit on. I loved that they created this area for kids, and for me, it was a real testament that the city values kids, our future leaders!

We also went to story time and that was a lot of fun for Mason. At the very end, they bring out toys for the kids to play. I'm so glad to be finding all these little places that he can be around other infants his age.
