Fair Highlights: Friday, Sept. 26
Whee! TGIF! (Thank God it's fair time.)
And Friday.
It's our day to play, eat stuff we might regret later and go watch Monster Trucks! Not to mention seeing Joan Jett tonight!

Fair Highlights: Thursday, Sept. 25

These animals are based in Yoncalla, Ore., (we don't think they're native to the area, but then again, Oregon's a mysterious place ...
Fair Highlights: Wednesday, Sept. 24
Rain? Who cares? Won't slow us down today.

Fair Highlights: Tuesday, Sept. 23

THEN we'll hit the racing pigs again...
Fair Highlights: Sunday, Sept. 21 [VIDEO]
When they open the gates at 11 a.m., the first thing on our mind is ... no! We're not eating like that again today. But we DO intend to sample some craft beers.
It's Central Washington University Day at the fair, so maybe we'll celebrate by stopping by the Ag Building at 1 p...
We Never Get Tired of Watching the Shriner Cars!
No matter how many times we see these guys, it never gets old -- Shriners in little cars!
They were out in force (and driving in formation!) at Saturday's Sportsman's Days parade in Naches.
You probably won't catch the Shriners on Sunday, but you might catch a fish -- the kids' derby starts at 1:30...
First On the Scene: Todd E. Lyons, Esq., Has His Eyes On the Hawks
Hey, Hawks fans: Don't worry about missing a second of tonight's opener with Green Bay -- and don't even think about any instant-replay arguments this time around.
Todd's on the scene at the Clink, and he'll be sending in what he sees via video on our KATS YouTube channel...
Savoring the Music from Bite of Yakima
If you missed last weekend's Bite of Yakima at the Arboretum, you missed some tasty food from a bunch of local vendors and some great music.
Sorry, but the food's all gone.
We've still got a little music left, though. Here's one of the bands from Saturday's event — this is Yakima's Avion playing "La Bamba...
