The 38th Annual Fremont Fair

The Fremont Fair is located in the funky Fremont neighborhood.  It celebrates the Summer Solstice with a parade and fair.  All donations collected at the Fair benefit the programs of Solid Ground, that provide shelter, food, advocacy and care for low-income families and individuals throughout Seattle and King County.  But the Fremont Fair is best known for a brave crowd of people who ride the route on their bikes, naked -- except, in many cases, for some strategically placed body paint.

Earlier, we had chocolate covered strawberries and banana-strawberry shake.  Here’s strawberry lemonade, elephant ear and corndog.  Will is in line for a corn on cob.  Yum!
