Can the Fair dates be changed to a cooler time of year?
The County Fair has always been held the second full weekend in August since 1951! This is a traditional time in which everyone expects the fair to be held. This is when the fruits and vegetables are at their ‘prime’ in our county. Our fair needs to be through before the Utah State Fair begins the first week of September so that our winners can be represented there. Also, every county and civic event needs their own ‘time to shine’. If we were to postpone our fair, it would infringe on the Iron county Fair, the Dixie Roundup, Senior Games, St. George Marathon and a lot of city festivals. With our facility improvements and cooled buildings, it is a perfect time to have a fair!
