Enjoying in Utah's State Fair

By Ian Kleine

The Patriots Day Celebration is held to honor all the good men and women who selflessly serve our community, our state and our country. A lot of events will be made available for participation.

The Beef Feast by the Utah Beef Council is one that should not be missed. Starting at 11 in the morning, the beefy smorgasbord begins. The food they cook on site is excellent, the aroma, divine. Two bucks for a drink to go with your five dollar beef sandwich with chips on the side. The Guitar Hero III Video Game Tournament is also up for grabs, wherein aspiring Guitar Heroes vie to enter and try to win 2 tickets and perform to compete at the Main Event on the 11th of September.

If giant trucks are your thing, the UTTPI Truck Pull is the thing for you. The event is free with the paid admission. There be dirt flipping, smoke belching in the arena with these monsters. Then if you're just the type to sit back, relax, and watch the kids and the livestock amble on, then the Jr. Livestock Auction is for you. Kids are encouraged to join as they could gain knowledge and skills that they could use in farm life. The Studebaker Club Car Show is also on display for all the classic cars. And last but not the least, the Bountiful Chrysler Jeep Dodge Demo Derby, for hardcore demolition action. Ten bucks for admission if you reserve in advance.

The State Fair is not one out without a music competition. The 2009 Utah State Fair Music Competition will also be held in the same area this year. Competitors that would like to enter the competition are requested to submit early applications at the soonest possible time at the presiding commissioners of the Utah State Fair.

The same could be said for those who would like to enter the competitive exhibitions and the use and purchase of concessionaire stands. - 15437
