About this listen

 The Classic Coaster Chronicles is stories from the Washington State Fair. In this series, you’ll get a glimpse behind the curtain of Washington’s biggest party. The Fair began back in 1900 and has become one of the largest in the country and world. It’s also the largest state fair, in the smallest city – Puyallup WA, in America. Nestled in the shadow of Mount Rainier, this Seattle suburb was founded on hops and has remained an agriculturally rich part of the state. If you’re a fanatic of food, carnivals, theme parks, history and good ol’ nostalgia, then this is the podcast for you!2022 Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary World
