The Washington County Fair Returns In April
– By James McFadden –
We are excited to report and bring you some great news about some exciting changes to this year’s Fair out at the Washington County Fairgrounds; also known as Legacy Park.
Last year’s fair set attendance records and saw southern Utah come together to celebrate. This year’s fair will also be one for the record books with an amazing list of attractions and things to see and do. You’re not going to be satisfied attending just one day, you’re certainly going to want to keep coming back day after day, so you don’t miss a thing.
Although the fair officially runs from April 20th to the 23rd, activities actually start as early as Thursday, April 15th & 16th with a full-blown Rodeo and a Special Needs Rodeo also on the 16th out in the large outdoor arena.
For those of you who might be interested in participating in one of the many contests which include – Home Arts, 4-H Exhibits, Fine Arts, or the Literary Arts, you will want to get registered right away as all items must be pre-registered online before midnight on Monday, April the 8th. Officials will then start accepting those entries on April 14th and 15th with judging on Monday, April 18th.
If you’re into Parades like our family is, you won’t want to miss that on Tuesday, April 19th. It starts at the Washington City Community Center at 6 PM with a Fair Kick-Off Celebration at 8 PM at the Veterans Park. And, with that, the fun is just beginning!!
So, at the risk of taking up this entire article with the event, after attraction, after the contest, after the show, after this thing and that thing — all of which you’re not going to want to miss; visit the fair’s website at www.washcofair.net for a complete listing of events, concerts, contests, and attractions so you can start planning your multi-day experience today! Once there, you will find everything broken down into what’s happening each day, fair hours, carnival hours, and you can even download and pre-print a map of the Fairgrounds so you can plan out your route as you walk through all of the amazing things that you’re about to experience!
Don’t dilly dally, it’s going to be here before you know it and it’s going to be over before you realize and if you miss it, you’ll be kicking yourself in the pants all year long, and so will your kids!!!
Again, that website is www.washcofair.net
We can’t wait to see you at the fair!
