Show Fair Time Is Here It's Your Fair So Be There This panoramic view shows the Midway for the Utah State Fair opening September 11th with ribbon-cutting ribbon-cutting ceremonies by our Governor, George D. Clyde, at the flag pole west of the Administration Building. Last year, in addition to setting records for numbers of entries, the Fair exceeded all attendance records, as some 280,000 persons went through the gates. It is hoped that such attractions as personal appearances of "Cochise"; the gala Ki-Ann Indian show on Kids' Days September 14 and 15; Seymour's German Circus; thrilling aerial acts by "Les Rhodins" and the Silver Condors; King and Queen of Freckles contests staged by Po Po; stock car races; auto daredevils, fireworks; horse shows; horse-pulling contests; horse racing; Monte Young's midway rides and shows; band concerts and "Holiday on Ice" performances will bring even more Fair-goers this year, said Don Wyatt, Fair secretary-manager. Mr. Wyatt noted mat the state Mother of the Year for 1959, Mrs. Victor A. Carlson, Richmond, and Mrs. A. F. Kohler, Mother of the Year for 1958, will be honored at the Fair. Judging of livestock in the Junior Division will take place the first two days of the Fair, and open class judging will begin September 15. Arabian horse judging will get underway at 8:00 a.m. the first day and other classes will be judged until the closing day.
