Neff says that the Purple Cow debuted at the fair in 1960, and was the invention of two Snohomish County Dairy Women named Mary Lou Lane and Ellen Dodge and their respective husbands. Though he wouldn’t divulge the recipe, Husby did say Purple Cows – the drink, not the poem – are sold at a booth operated by a nonprofit group called the Snohomish County Dairy Women as a fundraiser for their “Dairy Ambassador” outreach program, and for scholarships and other projects that support dairy farms and dairy families. The name comes from a short whimsical poem written by Gelett Burgess in 1895, and recited by schoolchildren throughout much of the 20th century. Husby says a Purple Cow is a popular ice cream drink that’s only available at the Evergreen State Fair. We have a lumberjack show, which is really popular.”
“Our animals course, that’s what we’re really known for is having just a really good line of animals,” Husby continued. Husby says vendors and staff will all be wearing masks during this year’s fair, and in its open areas and well-ventilated buildings, the 2021 edition of the Evergreen State Fair will have everything you’d expect to find, including carnival rides and games, monster trucks, concerts, car races, and a demolition derby.
