Look Mom - No hands! The boys in the front car of the wooden roller coaster at the 1940 Puyallup Fair released the security bar as they plummeted down one of the big drops on the thrilling ride. The roller coaster was just one of more than 25 rides on the 10 acre midway of the 41st annual Western Washington Fair in Puyallup. On September 18,1940, Tacoma Day at the fair, local school kids were out for the day and ready for some heart pounding action. TPL-2541 (T. Times 9/16/1940, pg. 1; 9/19/1940, pg. 1)
