Let's Peruse The Periodicals

Tomorrow I'm going to the Puyallup Fair, otherwise known as "The Big Fantastic."
Barnyard animals, the Tilt-a-Whirl, mutton bustin' and Fisher Scones are some of the highlights of this 2-week-long event. Being a ridiculously nerdy person with a library science degree, rather than tell you what the other attractions are, I will give you a list of periodicals that describe the plethora of activities and sights. These are, in fact, magazines in print:
  • Rug Hooking Magazine
  • Creating Keepsakes Magazine (scrapbooking)
  • The Draft Horse Journal
  • Rubber Stamp Madness
  • Illusion: The Magazine For Today's Face and Body Artist
  • Holstein World
  • Juggle Magazine
  • Wood Carving Illustrated
  • Amusement Today
  • Dessert Professional Magazine
I'm mostly disappointed there's not a magazine about scrimshaw. And that there doesn't seem to be even a quarterly periodical for circus or rodeo clowns. But I was impressed to find Circopedia, the free encyclopedia of the international circus. You can learn all about clown college on that site.
