A Heartfelt Thank You from the 2026 Utah County Fair Directors

Guest Contributor

As we take a moment to catch our breath after another incredible Utah County Fair, we simply want to say thank you.

Putting on a fair of this size takes months of planning and the efforts of hundreds of dedicated people, but it only becomes special because of the thousands of you who choose to spend your time with us. Seeing families making memories, friends reconnecting, children experiencing the fair for the first time, and neighbors coming together is what makes all the hard work worthwhile.

This year was especially exciting as we welcomed Full Contact Racing as our new demolition derby producer and introduced our first-ever Friday Night Demolition Derby. The overwhelming support for both nights exceeded our expectations and reminded us just how much this event means to our community.

One of the highlights of the week was looking across a rodeo arena that was absolutely filled to the brim for our Free Rodeo on Wednesday night. Watching thousands of people enjoy a free evening of family entertainment together was something we’ll never forget.

We are continually inspired by the young people of Utah County. Our Junior Livestock Show showcased not only outstanding animals, but months of dedication, responsibility, and hard work from our exhibitors. The incredible entries in our Competitive Art Show, 4-H exhibits, and Open Class competitions reminded us that Utah County is filled with talented, creative, and hardworking people of every age.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, competed, exhibited, sponsored, entertained, or worked behind the scenes—thank you. You are the reason the Utah County Fair continues to be a place where our community comes together to celebrate the very best of who we are.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the Utah County Commissioners, Amelia Powers-Gardner, Brandon Gordon, and Skyler Beltran, for their continued belief in and support of the Utah County Fair. Their encouragement helps make this event possible year after year.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the 2026 Utah County Fair one we’ll always remember. We feel incredibly blessed to serve this amazing community, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year to make even more memories together.

With sincere gratitude,

Craig Conover
