Sure, the Washington State Fair in Puyallup doesn't kick off until Labor Day weekend (Aug. 31, for those who are counting down), but it's not too early to get excited for the lineup of rock, classic rock, retro, R&B, hip-hop, country and comedy that's coming to the fairgrounds. 

While you're in town, make an evening of it! For some of the shows (marked with * below), join the pre-funk party for a catered dinner, drinks and a chance to win front-row seats. Then, rather than making the trek home, stay over at a Puyallup hotel and experience some of downtown Puyallup the next day.
