It's the most magical time of the year in Tillamook, Oregon! The biggest, most unifying event on the local calendar is the Tillamook County Fair and the annual four-day extravaganza is an explosion of all the pent up magic in the community.
Katie and Jordan discuss this year's upcoming 100th anniversary of the fair's marquee event the Pig-N-Ford races, three-lap races around a horse racing track with stripped down Model T cars, squealing piglets, and a whole lotta history. And Katie may have been the first woman ever to take the victory lap in the event.
The duo talks about the fair food that will probably make you sick and the fact Katie seems to be craving any combination of hot dog wrapped in carbohydrate.
Jordan wants to know if there is an event for "Best Duck" and Katie talks about her long history with the fair ranging from everything from entering baked goods, sewing projects, and showing cows.
