Evergreen State Fair

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE EVERGREEN STATE FAIR IN MONROE IN SPITE OF THE RAIN THAT WE ENCOUNTERED AS WE GOT INTO THE MONROE AREA. WE STOPPED AND BOUGHT UMBRELLAS AND WERE EXCITED ABOUT GOING.WE ENTERED THE FAIR AND ASKED HOW LATE THEY WERE OPEN AND THEY SAID TIL 7PM. IT WAS ABOUT 3PM. BY KIDS SPENT $50 ON TICKETS FOR THE RIDES FOR BOTH OF THEM. MY KIDS ARE IN THEIR 20'S. AFTER GOING ON ONE RIDE WE HEADED FOR THE OTHER 'BIG KID' RIDES AND DISCOVERED THAT BECAUSE OF THE RAIN STORM THESE LARGER RIDES WERE CLOSED. MY KIDS WERE DISAPPOINTED AND DIDN'T WANT TO RIDE ON THE CHILDRENS RIDES. WE WENT TO THE TICKET BOOTH TO GET A REFUND AND WERE DIRECTED TO THE OFFICE. WE ASKED FOR A REFUND AND WERE REFUSED, WE THEN ASKED FOR A DISCOUNT, THEY ALSO REFUSED. WE WERE PRETTY UPSET SO WE DECIDED TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. WE GOT BARBEQUE SANWICHES.BUT THERE WAS NO BARBEQUE SAUCE ON THE SANDWICH, APPARENTLY YOU WERE TO ADD THE SAUCE TO THIS DRY TASTELESS MEAT. THE SAUCE WAS A COMMON UNPALATABLE CONCOTION. WE TRIED TO KEEP A GOOD ATTITUDE THEN SAID TO ONE ANOTHER THAT'S OK LETS TRY A DESERT. WE WENT TO GET THIS APPLE WALLOP (?) THEY WERE "ALL OUT". WESEACHED FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WE FOUND A VENDOR WITH A CHOICE OF DIFFERENT FRUIT AND SAUCES ON A TYPE OF WAFFEL SOMETHING. THE COST WAS $8.50 THE BUT THE CLERK OFFERED TO GIVE US A COMBO OF TWO DIFFERENT TOPPINGS FOR $2.00 MORE. SUCH A DEAL!!!!!!???????? WE SAID OK BECAUSE BY THIS TIME IT WAS RAINING SO HARD THE UMPBRELLAS WEREN'T OF MUCH HELP AS OUR JEANS AND SHOES WERE SOPPING WET ALONG WITH OUR SOCKS. WE FINSIHED EATING AND CONTINUED TO TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE DAY. WE COULNDN'T GO ON THE RIDES WE WANTED AND IT APPEARED THAT MORE RIDES HAD CLOSED AND IT WASN'T 5PM YET. THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO WAS TO GO THROUGH THE ANIMAL EXIHIBITS AND AN EXHIBIT OF EARLY ARTIFACTS, TOOLS ETC. WE WERE GLAD TO BE INSIDE AND STARTED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE ANIMALS WHEN SOMEONE AT THE FORNT DOOR ANNOUNCED WE HAD 2 MIN. BEFORE THEY WERE CLOSING THE DOORS."

BY THIS TIME WE 'ALL' BECAME PISSED AND DIDN'T TRY TO HUMOR ONE ANOTHER.

FIRST OF ALL, THE ATTENDENTS THE GATE SHOULD HAVE CORRECTLY INFORMED US OF WHAT THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR ALL THE EVENTS WERE. THEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOME OF THE 'MAJOR RIDES WERE CLOSED WHICH WOULD HAVE SAVED TWO OF US $50!

THIS WAS THE WORST FAIR I HAVE EVER ATTENDED AND WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE. THE FOOD SUCKED, THEIR POLICIES ARE A RIP OFF. IT'S COSTLY TO PARK,THEN TO PAY AN ENTRANCE FEE, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT RIDES THAT ARE NOT RUNNING. WE DID SEE THE SIGN THAT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING THE WEATHER, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MEAN IF IF YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM CERTAITN RIDES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR GOING ON A RAINING DAY BUT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE INFORMED BEFORE PURCHASING THEIR TICKETS THAT CERTAIN RIDES ARE CLOSED. I JUST FEEL BADLY FOR MY KIDS IN THIS ECONOMY TO BE TAKEN THIS WAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
