124 Year Celebration of the Washington State Fair
Grange Display
From Produce to Hops
Our Meet Me At The Fair exhibit features vibrant displays of fruit, vegetables and hops in our "Meeker Grange" faux display. We're celebrating the Puyallup Valley "hops heritage" that included almost 100 valley farmers before the hop lice decimated the crops in the 1890s. In the hey days of the Puyallup Valley hops crops, Ezra brokered the combined crops of Puyallup Valley farmers globally by securing profitable brewery contracts with well known companies like Henry Weinhard and Guinnes.
Visit the Meeker Mansion Museum exhibits to learn why Ezra was a teetotaller and never drank alcohol, even though he grew the hops needed for brewing beer.
SKYRIDE
Seattle to Puyallup
If you attended the Seattle World's Fair
in 1962, then you may remember the
Union 76 Skyride.
But if you've Done the Puyallup since 1980,
you may also know that the Fair
purchased the Skyride and moved it to
the Fairgrounds in 1980 where millions
of people have continued to enjoy the ride
that was originally made in Switzerland.
Visit the exhibit to see our almost
life-size ceiling display.
