Every summer when lawn chairs start to line Capitol Way Boulevard, that's a sure indicator that Olympia's Capital Lakefair is in progress. The fair has been an Olympia staple for over 50 years and is still an immensely popular event bringing the community together and bringing visitors to Olympia.

My favorite event is the Grand Parade down Capitol Boulevard. It is lead off by a military color guard and includes imaginative floats, marching bands, drill teams, horse riders, classic cars and more. There's just something so typically American to a main street parade that makes me think of apply pie and Disney Land.

Some of the other events include boat races, a car show, kit car races, rides, games, amusements and food. This year's Lakefair was blessed with exceptionally good weather and attendance.

The crowning and closing Lakefair event each year is the firework show over Capitol Lake

and every year my kids and I agree "this year's fireworks were the best ever".
