With the preliminaries now being completed, Utah County’s 1978 Fair will move to center stage Wednesday at Spanish Fork. The official opening is scheduled at 5 p.m., touching off a round of interesting, educational, and colorful events and exhibits that will culminate Saturday night. The Herald published the complete schedule of events together with a history, sidelights, photos, information on exhibits and entertainments, and details on judging and youth activities – in a special 64-page tabloid section last Friday. We hope you saved your copy, which can serve as a guide to make your visit to Spanish Fork more meaningful. Watch for the current coverage in the Herald also. The Utah County Fair had developed quite a tradition before it was interrupted in the early 1940s when the fair’s facilities at Provo were needed by the Central Utah Vocational School in the defense manpower training program during World War II. For one reason or another the fair was not resumed until 1976 after a lapse of 35 years. The idea, as it was discussed by the County Commission, received wide approval and backing That first year of the revival happened to be America’s Bicentennial which added an extra patriotic touch to help launch the fair on a new phase of its career. A small army of volunteer workers, headed by Kent Prestwich, fair board chairman, has been working on a thousand and one details preparing for the big show. County’Fairs, of course, are for the people – and a big share of responsibility in making the event a success will depend on you, the public how well you attend, and your own enthusiasm and response. You’ll find color and pageantry in the exhibits, ranging from fine arts displays and the work of expert seamstresses to prize vegetables, fruit, and other products grown on the farms and orchards. There’ll be handicraft also, and livestock and pets, and show horses and fat hogs, cattle and sheep. And these are only a start. The full range of entertainment, from barbershop quartet and talent contests to three nights of rodeo, add extra inducement to attend. An article in the tabloid section of last Friday gives some tips on how to see the fair at minimum cost by attending at special times. Utah County is better qualified than most counties to hold an outstanding fair, being second in the state in population, ranking No. 1 in agricultural income, and rising in stature as an industrial center. In the fair, the county puts its best foot forward. We feel confi-. dent that in attending, you’ll see exhibits and talents that will enhance your pride and appreciation for the valley and its people.
