Chopper 7 flew over the fairgrounds and saw organizers preparing all things people love about the fair, including livestock, rides and much more.

Fair officials said that there will be new food added into the mix this year.

While tickets can be purchased online or at the gate, fairgoers can save money by getting them ahead of time.

The fair, which started in 1900 in Puyallup, is the largest in the Pacific Northwest.

It welcomes more than a million guests as it is the single largest attended event in the state, fair officials said.

The fair runs from Sept. 2-25.
