Vicki Reninger attaches lids to freshly made blueberry jam in Steilacoom last month.
These competitors know what it takes to win cooking contests at the Puyallup Fair – and they have the ribbons to prove it.

If past experience holds true, the tension has been thick as brownie batter at Vicki Reninger's Puyallup home in recent days as she prepares to enter some 40 food categories at the fair.
Sharing the fun: After entering the fair for years, Vicki got her mother, Barb Gates of Steilacoom, now 85, to start entering the “Best Jam and Jelly Contest” about 10 years ago. Read More...

OTHER FARMERS MARKETS
Tacoma Broadway Market - 20 May - 14 October 2010
Celebrating its 20th year in 2010, the Broadway Market is Tacoma's oldest market. The market is considered one of the best in the region. Come down and you'll see why! From the critically acclaimed mix of vendors to the quality of the programming and atmosphere, Broadway is bound to make going local an enjoyable experience for you! Though Broadway isn't like many markets due to its shear size, two city blocks and 4,000-6,000+ people every Thursday, it still has the hometown atmosphere that has led the farmers market movement to resonate with some of our nation's best memories. So whether you're coming down from the office for lunch or bringing the kids down for kids activities and shopping local produce, you're guaranteed to have a great time!
Downtown on Broadway Street, between 9th and 11th - Thursdays 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Tacoma Link: Park your car at the Tacoma Dome Park and Ride - located at 25th Street and D Street and take the latest in transportation - the Tacoma Link! It's free!
Parking: There are two parking garages in the near vicinity of the Broadway market. The Rhodes Center garage entrance is located on 11th and Market streets. The Pierce Transit garage entrance is located on Commerce between 11th and 9th streets.
