Happy
Visit HAPPY at the Happy Camper Visit our beloved Western Fair mascot ‘HAPPY’ at the Happy Camper for a must-have photo. HAPPY is a mascot made from bits and pieces of all our happy places. Look for a giant, furry, candy floss pink Muppet-like creature, with corn dog fingers and a candy apple nose. Their big, pink, belly is wrapped in flossy fur like cotton candy on a stick, and it rolls like a bowl full of jelly, full of elephant ears, snow cones, and deep-fried cheese on a stick. Get a big pink HAPPY hug, with arms so long and warm you will never forget their embrace.
