Show Utah County Fair features something for everyone There is enough going on at the Utah County Fair to make the 30 to 40 minute drive to Spanish Fork worth the trip. The Fair is always a delight, with displays ranging from art work and handicrafts to the biggest squash you ever hoped to see, and from huge bulls to furry, funny-looking bunnies. It's an event that truly has something for everyone. This year, those who attend the Utah County fair won't only be treated to the traditional greased pig contest, country western concert and the best local amateur talent -- although those popular events will be included. But for those who like their excitement in larger doses, AWA All-Star Wrestling will come to the Utah County Fair on Friday, and a demolition derby will be featured Saturday. Kids Day on Saturday will include everything from a twins contest to a diaper derby. Kids will see who can eat the most watermelon the fastest and games will round out the events. The fine arts entries this year will include sculpture, weaving, metalwork, fibers photography, ceramics, paintings, paint-ings, drawings and amateur art pieces. Families have been invited to take part in the horticulture horticul-ture contest this year, with 2- by 3-foot displays of the foods grown in their garden. Here's a chance to compare gardening garden-ing efforts with some of the greenest thumbs in the valley. Top that all off with the carnival, food, booths de stration and 4-H exhibits, and you have the Utah Co Fair. y Some residents of north Utah County probably miSs a Fair each year because it is hosted in the southern pa the county -- but those who do are missing out on some f real fun. The fair begins today (when the vegetable displays will be their freshest) and runs through Saturday. Join the other 60,000 residents who plan to attend, and put the Utah County Fair on your list of things-to-do this week |
