Plan now for Utah County Fair -- Belva Parr, open class supervisor for the Utah County Fair, said "now is the time for gardeners to plan for the Fair." As gardeners pick out and plant seeds, they should consider what they want to enter in the County Fair and plan their planting accordingly, she advised. Home gardeners will have the opportunity to exhibit the best their skill can produce.
Open class is for exhibitors of hand work, home grown produce, baking, canning and other home arts.
The Utah County Fair is later in the year than it has been in the past few years. The Utah County Fair opens mid-day Aug. 13 and closes after the fireworks Aug. 16.
