State Fair Runs Through Sept 17

The Utah State Fair opens tomorrow at 3 pm at the Fairpark in Salt Lake City. Opening opening day admission is only $2. After tomorrow, admission will be $8 for adults; $6 for seniors 62 and over and young people ages 6-12. Children 5 and under get in free.

This is a traditional fair with all kinds of displays ranging from farm animals to quilts to marmalade. There will be bronze sculptures and oil paintings and photographic portraits, along with places to see and buy new products, get consumer information and learn about emergency preparedness.

Of course there will be entertainment. The carnival will be open daily and there will also be a rodeo, dancers and a full slate of musical events (including some big-name national performers).

See the fair’s website for detailed information.
