Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It's hard to tell which part of the Denver County Fair is better: the food, the festivities or the half-sick, half-elated, entirely dazed feeling you get when you're done with them. Regardless, the annual tradition combined all three (plus a freakshow) once again at the National Western Complex this weekend, and Westword photographer Brandon Marshall was there to capture all the glory and grease.
