\"Click<\/a>The people of Wasatch County really know how to put on a county fair. They’ ve proved this time and time again – and have scheduled the 1976 version of their big celebration Aug. 2-7 at Heber. The Wasatch County Commission is the prime sponsor, but the operation is carried forward by a fair board, headed this year by Michael Moulton. The county appro!-priates funds for the fair. owever, says Mr. Moulton, the board seeks to make the big show as near self-supporting as possible. “Bigger and better than ever” is a trite phrase, and who can really judge? in any event, this year’s version, tied in with theme of the country’s Bicentennial, could be on of the very best. It will offer a blend of the traditional exhibits and major entertainments. In the former category will be the homemaking displays, arts division, bride’s room, flower shows, youth exhibits, livestock, dairy, agricultural products, etc. And in the entertainment line, there’ll be two giant parades, rodeo,4 horse racing, a production at the Pioneer Theatre (the old Wasatch Tabernacle), carnival, and the traditional “demolition derby” in which men driving junk cars at the fairground try to render each other’s vehicles immobile. Even the women get in on the latter event with a “powder puff” version oi the derby. The philosophy of the fair board is that the Wasatch County Fair should provide an opportunity for the people to demonstrate their talents – whether it be by quilt-making, performing in a play, or in music,showing livestock, making floats, or what other way. Beyond this, the “fair gives people of the county a change to get together, to mutually accomplish something important, and to enjoy the spirit of giving and working to achieve a common goal,” in the words of the board chiarman. Governor Calvin L. Rampton has been a frequent visitor at the Wasatch fair. Whether or not he makes it this year, you can be sure of one thing: The roads to Heber City will be busy the first week in August because there’s going to be big time at the Wasatch County Fair. Women Buying More Insurance One measure of the changing status of women is found in a recent report from the Institute of Life Insurance. Not long ago, owning life insurance was considered primarily a man’s responsibility. Today, with more than 44 per cent of married women in the work force, -life insurance for women is no longer rare. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
