As some of my more astute readers may have noticed, I have not mentioned the 100th annual Northwest Washington Fair currently going on in Lynden all this week.

Put simply, it's because I don't plan on going. I would certainly like to, but the tickets are a bit pricey and my days are being taken up by work and the moving process in which I am currently involved.

With that said, this headline from The Bellingham Herald simply made me laugh:

Cooler mishap causes Moo-Wich meltdown at Lynden fair

The Whatcom County Dairy Women came to their booth at the fair Monday morning to find nearly 6,500 of their Moo-Wich ice cream sandwiches had melted due to equipment failures. Volunteers had apparently worked hard in the days before the fair to prepare the treats for eagerly waiting customers.

Now before anyone gets up in arms for me poking fun at this truly tragic occurrence, it should be known that a nearby Haggen supermarket had replacement cookies in the oven within  hours of the mishap. 650 Moo-Wiches should have been ready for customers by this afternoon.

I am of course glad to hear this tale had a happy ending. I just hope the Whatcom County Dairy Women didn't loose any moo-ney because of this unfortunate state of affairs.

If any other tragically hilarious mishaps occur at the fair, you will most definitely be able to read about them here. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with better puns by the time that happens.
