Annual Puyallup Fair kicks off 17-day run

The annual cattle drive and rodeo parade through Puyallup are some of the highlights for the first day of the fair.

The 17-day event features a rodeo, concerts, food, exhibits, animal displays, and nightly fireworks.

Reporter Tim Haeck ran into a group of girls who said "boys" were also a feature at this year's fair.

The Puyallup Fair began in 1900 and is one of the largest state fairs in the nation with attendance expected to exceed one million visitors.
