Looks like the Denver County Fair is your new cool older brother. That's because this year, the fair's organizers have added a slew of marijuana-themed contests to the docket, proving again that Denver is the chillest 420 bro city in the history of time.
Looks like the Denver County Fair is your new cool older brother. That's because this year, the fair's organizers have added a slew of marijuana-themed contests to the docket, as well as a variety of other contests that pretty much demand you get high to go to (ahem, dancing pig contest).
This year, absurdly large pumpkins and your Grandma's special jam will be judged alongside weed plants, which will be competing in categories like best live plant and and best clone. There's also categories for best edibles, homemade bongs, and homemade roach clips. Can we make a category for Coolest County Fair? There's only one contestant. You see where this is going…
In addition to pot plant competitions, the Denver County Fair will feature a joint-rolling competition (with oregano instead of weed), a Dorito-eating contest, and a contest for dioramas made with Peeps candies, which is probably the highest category anyone could ever think of.
"We thought it was time for us to take that leap and represent one of the things Denver has going on," said Tracy Weil, the fair's marketing and creative director. Yes, Tracy, like the munchies (see 'Dorito-eating contest' above).
The actual judging of the marijuana stuff won't be done on the fairgrounds, in order to protect the virgin eyes and ears of the fair-goers. The entries will be shown as photos in a "Pot Pavilion" open only to people over 21. Alongside the pot entrants will be 24 categories of homemade beer, four categories for homemade wine and one category for "spirits and liqueurs," because you're gonna need something to drink once you realize there's no actual pot there.
And if that doesn't sufficiently entertain you, there's also a drag queen contest, a speed-texting contest, and a troupe of performing pigs. This fair is basically begging you to get high at it, but you're going to have to wait a while because the fair isn't until August. Perfect…plenty of time to start our Dorito-eating training.
