Neil and Jody (The owners) are AMAZING! These guys are not just here to take your money and leave you to figure out the rest, they take you the full way, doting on you as if you're the only one who requires their attention, and trust me, you're not. This place as well as the Aerie Ballroom is SO popular because they have such amazing prices, courteous service, and a genuine love for what they do. I can't wait to have my nuptials here and I suspect amazing service that day - just as it has been all along!

We went to the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds to go to the 2023 Garlic Festival…read more As far as the fairgrounds go I don't have any qualms with the space. Parking was relatively easy to get in and out of. There are colored zones to pay attention to so you know on which side you parked at. I don't know how well it's managed during an actual fair because I am more urban in that sense and would just as soon go to the fair in Puyallup but for festivals like the ine we went to it seemed to fit the bill nicely. The Garlic Festival itself has it's own Yelp entry which I have a review for from several years ago but that entry is listed as closed probably due to the festival being inactive during the pandemic. The festival has changed since I was last there. They have a lot of food with garlic, vendors selling garlic and other things you would see at a farmer's market but they also had a whole building at the fairgrounds playing up the relationship vampires have with garlic so there were a lot of vendors in this part of the festival that specialized in more Goth type art, gear and household decor (and more) which I really, really enjoyed. Forbidden Love was the name of this sector of the fair I believe. Yes, the Garlic Festival seems to bring in more attendees each year but it seems like the fairgrounds here are still a suitable place to have this size of festival.

Review from August 2023…read more I like garlic. Do you like garlic? Well, you won't find the fair lacking. There's a place that boasts a "Mega" Philly cheesesteak for $14, which I didn't think was mega and don't think was worth the cost. Maybe that was the mega part. That being said, it was a good cheesesteak. Not great, but good. This place does have good garlic fries. I had Uncle Joe's last year, they make their own sausages, which are very good, and they had great garlic fries. I think my favorite thus far is the Frying Dutch Girl. Other than food, there are livestock, chicken/ roosters, etc. There are rides (of course) notably a Ferris wheel which is good romantic excursion at sunset. The grandstand is where a lot of the product vendors are. A/C vendors, soap and beauty products (the Cocosheama booth stood out to me), cutlery from CutCo , Tupperware (I didn't realize that brand was still a thing), jewelry, etc. There is also a booth that has multiple businesses (Strong Tower painting & siding, Azurguard Roofing, Alpha Y La Omega landscaping and Bethel Remodel), she was super nice There are also Republican Party booths, a VA booth looking for signatures for a petition to reopen a closed location (I signed). There's a booth that educates in gun rights (it is helpful info) All in all, great fun. Hot days that are cooling down. Stop by.

There is an area for walking pets, dual bathrooms on each side. Water fountains for free or for some coins, you can get something from the vending machines. Ther is also a station for brochures and maps to help your journey. There is plenty of parking and plenty of shade. It was a much needed rest and an enjoyable one ta boot.
