One way to spend hours at the Puyallup Fair without spending money on rides or shammies that leave cars as shiny as the day they left the showroom floor is people watching. Added fun comes by making a scavenger hunt game out of it by writing down a list of 25 "people types" and give each type a point value based on the likelihood of them being spotted. A one-legged cowboy might get 50 points, while a teenage girl in a t-shirt that says "future porn star" on it might get 5 points since you can't order a crusty pup without knocking into their strollers as you step away from the cash register. You can either play with teams, go head to head with everyone in your group. It is good to have one person as judge since points might change if say, someone spots a one-legged teenager in a cowboy hat and a mini skirt pushing a stroller.
This underground game has grown in popularity now that cell cameras can take video clips for verification purposes, allowing teams to break up to cover more territory. Let's just say, all those people having trouble dialing their phones might actually be taping you. â€" Steve Dunkelberger
