The modern fair evolved from the old-time unfair, a morally devoid ground where the milk-bottle game was played with ping-pong balls and the cowboy who fell off fastest won the rodeo's grand prize.

The Puyallup Pro Rodeo showcases beloved cowboy pastimes, such as bull riding, barrel racing, and tie-down roping, soundtracked by country-music acts. Professional riders from across the country will converge on the fairgrounds to compete in hard-charging events for fame, prize money, and a trophy constructed out of 30 pounds of rib-eye steak. Joe Nichols's Grammy-nominated baritone breaks up the thunder of hooves upon dirt on Friday, followed on Saturday evening by Ricochet, a seasoned country group known for plucking its guitar strings by shooting them with revolvers. Each pair of tickets also includes admission to the Puyallup Fair, an all-day cavalcade of rides, food, and agricultural exhibits. Vehicle stabling is $10 on Monday–Friday, and $12 Saturdays and Sundays.

Though the Puyallup Fair sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
