One of the Best State Fair Exhibits Won’t Cost You a Dime
With the Central Washington State Fair in town, there's plenty to do and see at the fair. One of the exhibits is one that my kids enjoyed quite a bit and, best of all, it was free.
Next to the giant STEAM building with the white pillars was this humble sign that just said 'Feed Live Butterflies' so we figured 'why not'? There was a small enclosure that had a lot of flowers and plants inside as well as several butterflies all happily fluttering around. They were friendly enough to land on you.
They also had these brushes with some type of food on them for butterflies that you could gently, but easily, let them land on or encourage them to walk into from a flower to kind of pick them up and look at them up close as needed. It was super fun. And, best of all, it was free!
Sure, yes, there was a donation box if you had a great time, but it wasn't forced or presented in your face or anything. Just a fun thing for kids and grown-ups to experience.
