The Utah State Fair
Held annually in
September at the Utah State Fairpark at 155 North 1000 West, this is a
really fun place to spend an afternoon. It runs for ten days with different
demonstrations and entertainment daily. From barn animals to fine art,
from Kettle Korn to stir fry, from rides for the young at heart to vendor
booths for the shopper in you, there truly is something for everyone.

Husarik,
