Over 1.1 million attend Puyallup Fair

The last person has passed through the turnstiles, and the gates of the 2003 Puyallup Fair have closed.

In total, 1,162,593 people attended the 17-day Puyallup Fair, which ran from Sept. 5 to Sept. 21.

This is the 20th highest attendance since the fair started in 1900 – a less than 2 percent decline from the number of people who visited the fair last year.
