We Utah citizens are proud of our history and the Utah State Fair is part of that. Coming up again in September, it was created nine years after the pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley.  In fact, this is their 156th year.  Utah State Fair trivia tells about the first year and an award of twenty-five dollars to Brigham Young for “Best Stallion” as well as the “Best Celery Exhibit” first prize.

First called the Agriculture Park, the property it is located at now was purchased in 1902.  There have been many renovations since it’s beginnings, but it is still a property of great architecture and history.  Come check it out!  I’ll be there.
