Sanpete County Fair 2018 “One Grand Celebration!”

What a busy year this has been! At the completion of last year’s fair, construction on our new grandstand began.

The first phase of our project is complete. You will be happy to know that our new arena is done, and our seating is complete.

We now have the capacity to have a crowd twice the size of what we have had in the past. Our new grandstand is entirely reserved seating, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) seating is phenomenal and complete with a wheelchair ramp and wheelchair seating which is also reserved.

The south side seating is all general admission as well as the small wing bleachers to the east and west. Attendees will find that there is not a bad seat in the house!

Plenty of room for everyone.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all those who have worked tirelessly at completing phase one, and thank the people and businesses that have donated to this project.

We have made great strides at your fairgrounds and will strive to move forward with phase two, which will include new concessions and restrooms.

The relationships that we have built in reaching this common goal have been outstanding. Sanpete County is full of great businessmen and volunteers. I feel privileged to work with all of you.

There are a couple of schedule changes to note, the change of days for the Fireman’s Challenge and the Jr. Rodeo. This year the Fireman’s Challenge will be held on Tuesday evening of fair week. The challenge is organized and run by our Jr. Fair Board.

The Jr. Fair Board members have been responsible for all the fundraising and challenges during the event. I thank all of you who have been working with the Jr. Fair Board, it is a great experience for them.

Next, the Jr. Rodeo has moved to the Saturday before fair week. This is a super fun event for the kids to get their own rodeo. Registration for the Jr. Rodeo is required, so make sure to check out the schedule for the day and time to register.

Fair tickets are available online at www.sanpetecountyfair.net. If tickets are purchased online, the tickets will be mailed to purchasers. There will be no will-call.

Tickets will also be available at the following ticket outlets Monday, Aug. 6 through Noon on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at Rasmussen Ace Hardware, Gunnison; Sanpete Building Inspector Office, Manti; Jorgensen Chevrolet, Ephraim; Farmers Floral, Mt. Pleasant.

The ticket booth in the fairgrounds will also be open Tuesday – Friday, Aug. 7-10 and 14-17, from 4 to 8 p.m.

On Saturday, Aug. 11, from 12 noon – 4 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 18, during events.

The fair board and I extend an open invitation to come out, enjoy and participate in the fair. We thank you all for your support of the fair in the past, and hope to see you all at “A Grand Celebration” this year!

A grand celebration with parade Grand Marshal Roth Ilene Roth, Manti, has been chosen to be the grand marshal for the Sanpete County Fair Parade at 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 25, in Manti.

Ilene was born in Mt. Pleasant, the daughter of Thomas and Afton Brothersen. She has four children, Rusty (Sharanadee) Braithwaite; Tammy Braithwaite, Cody (Amber) Braithwaite; and Wyatt (Lindsay) Frischknecht.

Her children and grandchildren love living in Manti.

For Roth, living in Sanpete County, experiencing the smell of fresh cut hay, watching the livestock graze in the pastures, traveling up to the mountains for camping these are things her family enjoys each year.

Summertime is her favorite time of the year. Roth loves working in the yard, harvesting a wonderful garden and having roasted marshmallows over a camp fire.

The Sanpete County Fair is a celebration she loves to attend. The 4H program was a highlight in Roth’s youth.

She would bring crafts, foods or projects to display and couldn’t wait to see what ribbons were received.

Roth still enjoys the local talents each year at the exhibition building, along with the rodeo, horse pulls, derby, animal barns, car show and parade. She has loved being involved in the fair and helping with the fair book.

In the past, Roth admired Carole Mellor and her amazing ability to get everyone all excited about the new fair book. Her family couldn’t wait to see it and guess the mystery person. This year Roth is excited to see the improvements at the fairgrounds.

Ilene’s life changed when she married Ed “Big Daddy” Roth. Ed was a custom car builder and the creator of Rat Fink. She attended her first car show with Ed in the Superdome in New Orleans, LA. That car show was her first glimpse of the Rat Fink creations, models of Ed’s cars, pin striping, custom painting in a booth and her first realization that there are hundreds of Rat Fink fans.

Every show that Ilene attended with Ed was a special event. The two of them were able to visit with so many fun people and had a beautiful life of meeting artists, car builders and traveling worldwide to attend shows.

She found that her new life was mixed up in an amazing whirlwind of fun and work.

Unfortunately, Ed passed away in 2001. Since then,

Ilene has continued with the Rat Fink legacy. She and her family have hosted the Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s Annual Rat Fink Reunion each year in Manti.

This year, all the Rat Fink fans and family celebrated the 16th Rat Fink Reunion in June. There were over 60 artists that created art for the three-day event. During the event, the 5k fun run was well attended.

The reunion’s car show was a grand event, bringing cars from as far away as Michigan, Florida, Kentucky and See MARSHAL, page 15

The annual Fireman’s Challenge has been moved to a new day. The challenge will be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 21. Fire departments throughout the county take part in this fun activity which draws a crowd.

Firemen get hosed during competition

Each year, fire crews from Sanpete communities are challenged to prove they have what it takes to handle the rigors of service while having fun in the process as part of the Fireman’s Challenge. It is one of the most crowd-pleasing events during the Sanpete County Fair.

This year’s Fireman’s Challenge will be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 21 All fire departments from around the valley are eligible to participate in the challenge and can take home cash prizes and trophies.

What looks like fun and games to the public is, in reality, life-saving training. Teams participate in timed events and drills. Some involve a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), an interactive event that will not only 20

Sanpete County Fair

entertain but also educate spectators with the hope of encouraging more people to volunteer for local fire departments. Events are relay type, many of which showcase the fireman’s mastery of equipment and life-saving skills.

Water is a prominent feature of this event, and there will be a splash zone. So spectators sitting in certain rows will likely get a bit damp or perhaps quite soaked.

Sponsors from local businesses will provide the cash jackpot for the winning fire department and 100 percent of the money raised will go directly back to the fire departments.

Broken Heart Rodeo Company is welcomed back to this year’s Sanpete County Fair. The ever-popular Broken Heart Rodeo will fill the arena with roping, riding and wrangling adventures.

The rodeo will take place Thursday, Aug. 23, at 6:45 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 25, at 7:45 p.m. The Aug. 24 event is scheduled a little earlier to allow youngsters to be able to be up and bright-eyed for school the next day.

The Broken Heart Rodeo Company is owned and operated by the Ben and Jennifer German family out of West Point. They run 300 head of horses and 80 head of bulls and have provided animals for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and top rodeos throughout Utah.

The company has received stock contractor of the year awards with both the Intermountain Professional Rodeo Association and the Rocky Mountain Pro Rodeo Association (RMPA) in past years.

New this year, will be the parade of champions from the Junior Livestock show during the Saturday, Aug. 25 performance. This will give the young winners a chance to show off their stock after putting in much effort to raise them to the status of champions.

Locals who would like to participate in the rodeos may call between 1 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 16 to the RMPA office at 719-486-0599 or 222.rmpraonline.com.

Those interested in participating in the Hide Race should call Dell Jensen at 435-469-0296 between 6 and 9 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 19, to register.

The rodeo committee would like to show special appreciation to the following corporate sponsors which make the events possible: South Sanpete Pack, CO Buildings, Swift Construction, Hermansen’s Mill, Central Valley Medical Center, Jorgensen’s Chevrolet, Statewide Funding, Gunnison Valley Hospital, Pistol Packin’ Cowgirls and Redmond Minerals.

Dutch oven history Dutch ovens are a distinctive cooking pot which has thick walls, generally manufactured from cast iron. It can be cast iron with an enameled finish but in any case it has a tight-fitting lid.

Dutch ovens have been used for centuries within kitchens around the globe as a widely used cooking vessel.

The phrase “Dutch oven” has been around and used for more than 300 years.

During the 1600s the Dutch discovered a significantly better system for producing molds for casting the pots using sand, which makes the resulting pots have a far smoother surface area.

Throughout the history of America the actual cooking pots have become shallower and legs have been added to better keep the pot above the hot coals on an open fire.

Early colonists appreciated the flexibility and sturdiness associated with cast iron. In fact the ovens were regarded as being so useful, that early colonists entered them into their wills.

Rapidly, this new oven came to be greatly valued by American colonists, mainly because its cast-iron construction caused it to be long-lasting while its design helped bring about the notable versatility.

The truth is, housewives seldom called for any other sort of pot, because the Dutch oven pot may be employed for boiling, frying, stewing, roasting as well as baking - all

in one.

In 1704, a man named Abraham Darby traveled from England to Holland to inspect a Dutch casting process by which brass vessels where cast in dry sand molds.

Upon returning to England, Darby experimented with the process and eventually patented a casting process using a better type of molding sand, as well as a process of baking the mold to improve casting smoothness. He eventually began casting pots and shipping them to the new colonies and throughout the world.

Others have suggested that early Dutch traders or salesmen peddling cast iron pots may have given rise to the name “Dutch oven.” Still others believe that the name came from Dutch settlers in the Pennsylvania area who used similar cast iron pots or kettles.

To this day, the name Dutch oven is applied to various cast pots or kettles. The most common application of the name is to a cast iron pot or kettle with a flat bottom having three legs to hold the oven above the coals, flat sides and a flat, flanged lid for holding coals.

These ovens have a steel bail handle attached to “ears” on each side of the oven near the top for carrying.

No matter what you call it or what shape it is cast to, a well-prepared meal from a Dutch oven has a delicious flavor unmatched by most other cookware.

Donnie Landis set to entertain at fair rodeos, demo derby Donnie Landis, professional barrelman, rodeo clown and founder of Roughstock 101 and Lil Bucks Bull Co. Roughstock 101, will perform during the Sanpete County Fair RMPRA Rodeos, Thursday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 25. He will also provide entertainment during the demolition derby on Friday, Aug. 24.

As far as an entertainer, Donnie Landis is one of the best in the business. His family orientated humor will leave the audience in stitches! His Vaudeville type stand up walk, talk and timing are the best in the business.

The first time Donnie was in a rodeo arena he was four years old helping his dad do his clown acts. Donnie is a fourth-generation rodeo cowboy. His Dad was a rodeo clown/bullfighter. He also rode bulls and bucking horses.

Later Donnie produced rodeos and his dad helped form the California Cowboys Association (CCA), now known as the C.C.P.R.A. Donnie’s mom was also very involved as a rodeo secretary and had many other official jobs.

He started clowning and fighting bulls when he was 12 years old at CCA. Some of the rodeos he has worked include Mariposa and Pacifica, CA. Donnie turned professional when he was 18! The first PRCA rodeo Donnie worked was the San Jose Firefighters Rodeo. As a professional thus far, Donnie has worked many major Rodeos. He has provided entertainment twice for the Wrangler National Finals in 1993 and 95.

That show in 1993 was his first at the national finals!

Years later, he’s still doing what he loves, being a cowboy clown/entertainer. It should be noted, that in addition to

Donnie’s entertainment skits include Mario the trained Flea, Jose Jose the bull fighting dog and a Wild Cantbeatalope. Spectators never know what to expect when Donnie’s calling the shots. Plan now to see his act during the rodeos and demo derby Aug. 23 - 25.

Jr. Livestock Show winds up hard work for youth The Sanpete County Jr. Livestock Show is a great educational program for youth ages 9-18 and has been conducted annually at the Sanpete County Fair since the mid-1980s.

Youth registered with 4-H or FFA participate by purchasing a calf, a pig, a lamb or goat, which are fed, groomed and exercised for 60 to 100 days.

The youth also study animal science and how to lead and show the animal. All of the hard work and study is challenged at the livestock show where youth demonstrate their livestock projects to a judge.

The final event is the Livestock Auction/Sale where members of the community and local businesses purchase or contribute a donation to purchase a livestock project animal. The livestock is processed at a local meat processing plant for a good supply of high-quality meat

2017 Grand Champion Goat named

Many things have been learned by Kaylee Hains through participating in the 4-H program. She found that working hard, while giving up fun, can be rewarding. She has watched new friends take her under their wings and help her by teaching about her animal and how to care for it. Because of that help, she has learned to better help and teach others.

Physically, Hains has become stronger by carrying the needed buckets of fresh water daily and working with her goats. She also has become emotionally stronger as she learned to take charge of the animals so they didn’t take charge of her.

The whole process has helped her confidence grow as she participated in the 4-H program.

Kaylee Hains’s goat was chosen as a Grand Champion during the 2017 Sanpete County Fair.

2017 Grand and Reserve Champion Hogs come from same farm

Mckade Sweat, Mt. Pleasant, showed his pigs during the 2017 Sanpete County Fair and one of them was chosen as reserve champion and another as grand champion.

He was quite happy about that, especially since it isn’t that often both winners come from the same farm.

Sweat has attended Moroni Elementary’s dual immersion program. He has one little brother and two little sisters. In his spare time he wrestles, rides horses, goes fishing and rodeos.

2017 was Sweat’s first year in the 4-H program. He learned a lot from raising his pigs. He says the most interesting thing he learned was how clean pigs are. It surprised him the most because after all - they are pigs.

Mckade Sweat was a happy young man during the 2017 Sanpete County Fair because two of his hogs won awards as Grand Champion and Reserve Champion.

Sanpete County Fair

During the 2017 Sanpete County Fair, Jerrit Anderson showed his lamb, which was chosen as the Grand Champion Lamb.

Anderson said that 2017 was his first year participating in 4H and in Sanpete County Junior Livestock.

It was his decision to show a lamb.

The first night after Anderson received the lamb, a dog got into the pen and attacked the lamb with several bites, which caused some bad sores. Anderson was devastated and thought his chances of doing well at the show were over.

So he worked hard all summer, getting up early for feeding and working with the lamb and taking care of its injuries. By show time the sores had all healed better than Anderson had anticipated, leaving only some minor scars. Which was great, because the lamb was chosen as the Grand Champion Lamb.

Anderson says that the 4H program has taught him many things. He learned that with hard work and dedication any obstacle can be overcome. He says that people just have to put their mind to it and work around the obstacle.

He offers special appreciation to his parents, Joey and Amy Anderson, and all of his sponsors and supporters, including Gunnison Hospital, Dr. Blackham, Dr. Beck, Freedom Ford, David and Lori Beck, Tammy Averett, Rodney Willardsen, Triple S, Dr. Frandsen, Centerfield City, Sakia Broast and Landon and Kim Sorenson.

2018-19 Jr. Princess Royalty named

Last May, nine young ladies participated in the Junior Princess Royalty pageant, which was a two day event in Manti. The first day, contestants were judged on modeling and appearance, public speaking, interview and personality at Manti High School.

The next day, the girls met at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds, Manti, with their horses, and were judged on horse knowledge, horse skills, Western Pleasure style of riding, carrying the flag and on their queen presentation ride.

The judges then selected and crowned the new 2018 Junior Princess Royalty. Mattisen Wanner was selected to be the new junior princess. Her attendants are Kenley Kelso, first attendant; and Jordan Brouillette, second attendant.

Mattisen also won Miss Congeniality.

During the summer, the Junior Princess Royalty will represent Sanpete County at all parades and rodeos in the county, as well as the Ute Stampede in Nephi.

During the Sanpete County Fair, they will be at a majority of the fair events, and reign over the rodeo. The royalty also helps during the pet show, horse pulls, Fun on the Farm, open horse show, Junior Rodeo and anywhere

Lots of fun awaits children ages 3 – 10 during the Mud Scramble held Saturday, Aug. 25, at 3:30 p.m. in the area next to Fun on the Farm at the fairgrounds.

Children find balloons with prizes in Mud Scramble A fast dash for prizes through the mud is found at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Aug. 25, at 3:30 p.m., for all children ages three through 10.

Mud is always fun to play in, but even more exciting when the children get to run, jump, plunge and race for colorful balloons containing prizes. Each participant will receive a prize for retrieving a balloon from the mud.

72

Sanpete County Fair

The children will compete in three groups: Ages 3 to 4, 5 to 7 and 8 to 10. Hoses will be waiting and ready to spray down participants following the scramble. No need to pre-register, just show up and be prepared for mud.

For more information, contact Steve or Tina Roberts at (435) 851-2550 or (435) 851-7473.

The adult volleyball tournament gets plastered with mud on Saturday, Aug. 25, beginning at 9 a.m., during the Sanpete County Fair, Manti. It will be a riot, so get a team organized and register right away.

Volleyball is much more fun when mud is added

Get ready to rumble in the mud during one of the slippery, sloppy, riotous games in the mud volleyball tournament which begins at 9 a.m., Aug. 25, at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds on the west side of the fairgrounds, right behind Manti’s swimming pool.

This will be a true double elimination tournament.

Teams consist of up to eight members. Each participant will receive a T-shirt. The cost is $50 per team. A prize will be awarded to the winning team.

There will be a limit of eight teams, so be quick to get entered to participate. Community groups, sport teams, businesses, families or any other mix of players are en-

couraged to organize and register.

To register a team, contact Steve or Tina Roberts at (435) 851-7437 or (435) 851-2550 before Monday, Aug. 20.

Come and enjoy the fun in the mud. Here are some recommended tips: 1. Remember, there will be hoses to wash off with after the games.

2. Wear stuff to play in that won’t be worn again.

3. Plan in advance on ways to keep the car clean after the games.

4. Don’t focus on winning as much as playing and having fun.

Monroe Magnuson returns to announce rodeo, demolition derby Monroe Magnuson has made a living doing many different things in his life, including working as an FSA auditor, convenience store owner, brand inspector, livestock sales manager, graphics designer, cattle judge, equipment operator, veterinary technician, labor force supervisor and a rancher. But of all the career paths he has followed, none drives his passion like the job of announcer.

In 2008, he answered a call from a longtime cattle producer and friend expecting to talk about the cattle business, state of the beef business, politics and kids and such, but the result of that phone call was far different than he had ever expected.

After the regular cowboy banter and ribbings between the two, the caller commented “Monroe, my wife and I have decided you need a career change.”

“I didn’t really know how to react when he said that, so I just asked what he meant,” explains Magnuson.

“My friend explained that they were in a bind and hunting for a rodeo announcer and they thought I should give it a whirl. I am always up for something new and a challenge, so I said okay.”

That first performance was “baptism by fire,” he said, “There were several injuries, and I had no idea how to handle them or explain to the crowd what was going on.”

But the emotional rush was more than Magnuson could predict and he was hooked. For the next three years he became the voice of the “Invitational Rodeo” at Panguitch. In addition, he began booking rodeos anywhere he could convince the rodeo contractors and committees to hire him.

Long back before all this, when Magnuson was five, his father died of injuries incurred from a horse accident on the family’s ranch. “Because my Dad and Mom were in the process of building their cattle operation at the time of my father’s accident and death,” he says, “I spent my youth working with my mother and older brother doing what needed done to make the cattle operation work.”

“I was heavily involved in 4-H, riding club and scouting,” he says, “but I never really had the opportunity to do things like rodeo, although it was something I think I would have wanted to do when I was younger.”

While Magnuson now operates a cattle operation of his own and grew up in a ranching family, rodeo was not

anything in which he had ever participated.

“I did the regular chores and duties that every other cattleman does every day caring for his livestock,” he says, “and I also had the opportunity to show and sell beef cattle all over the nation. I loved to watch rodeo.”

He relates, “I remember as a kid going to watch rodeo’s and soaking everything up about the production and how it could have been changed or what was cool and done well but through all of that, it never occurred to me to be involved in Rodeo,” explains Magnuson.

“But after having the opportunity to announce, I

became aware that it was a life I would have loved when I was younger, a community that I truly enjoy, and a great opportunity to educate about, and tell the story of a way of life, the cowboy way of life, that I love and believe in,” he said.

“When my father was injured, the community in which we lived rallied around us to make sure we were taken care of,” Magnuson related. “But it was the rodeo community that stepped up to the plate and got things moving.”

The year his father died, the Southern Utah Rodeo Association Finals was scheduled for his home town.

The rodeo committee dedicated the finals that year to his father, who was the secretary, and the committee donated all the proceeds to help Magnuson’s mother pay the bills.

“I believe the American cowboy is respected and maybe even idolized,” he comments. “They say everybody loves a cowboy, and if that is so, it is because of what he represents, integrity, grit and determination and a human heart for those in need. That is a story I want to tell.”

Since that 2008 “Baptism by Fire” rodeo, Magnuson has announced rodeos, derbies, moto-cross and monster truck shows throughout the Western United States.

In 2011, he was honored to be selected as one of three announcers for the National Finals Rodeo of the National

Little Britches Association in Pueblo, CO; and in 2012, was selected to announce as the lead announcer at the NLBRA National Finals.

Magnuson has had the opportunity to announce the finals of the Western States Bucking Bull Association in 2014 and has been voted twice as announcer of the year in the Rocky Mountain Pro Rodeo Association (RMPRA).

The Magnuson’s make their home in Castle Dale, where he operates a cattle operation, is the laborer supervisor for Emery Water Conservation District, and stays busy traveling to announce rodeos, demolition derby’s and monster truck shows.

He usually takes his family with him on the road, including his wife, Amber, his best buddy and son Zayne, age 13, and princess Zoee, age nine.

As the announcer of the Sanpete County Fair’s rodeo and demolition derby for the past six years, Magnuson’s goal is to carry the audience through the “story of life” filled with patriotism, defeat, victory, maybe some tears, laughter and fast paced action as he tells the story of the rodeo cowboy.

“Rodeo fans, whether first timers or seasoned, have See MAGNUSON, page 80

spent hard earned dollars on an opportunity to see a show and ride along with the contestants for a few moments,” Magnuson comments.

“My goal is to make sure they get their money’s worth.”

Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Aug. 23-25, when leaving the arena, those who attend will hear Monroe end the performance with one sentence which he strives to live by and of which he reminds his audience with every performance.

It goes like this, “When we all finally step up to that last pay window, it won’t matter whether we win or lose, but how we made the ride.” That’s a thought that all should consider daily and a message Magnuson strives to relay.

Fun on the Farm celebrates 10 years with more fun!

Fun on the Farm is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with even more fun and activities. There will be three days of “hands-on” agricultural fun beginning Thursday and Friday, Aug. 23 – 24, from 4-7 p.m., and continues Saturday, Aug. 25, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., inside the Sanpete County fairgrounds behind the swimming pool.

This is a free activity. Children in second grade or under need to be accompanied by an adult to participate.

Fun on the Farm is a hands-on agricultural exhibit that teaches how food gets from the farm to the table.

Visitors start at the first building and put on an apron and get a basket and proceed through the buildings.

Each building is dedicated to a different farm animal.

As visitors go from building to building there are products to gather, such as milk chug, honey, bacon, fruit, or vegetables.

In addition, there are different activities at each building like milking a cow, holding a Madagascar hissing cockroach, branding a cow, carding wool and other fun activities.

Products gathered are turned in at the market in exchange for a Fun on the Farm dollar. Participants can then spend their dollar at the store for a treat or prize.

An estimated 2,500 visitors have attended the Fun on the Farm each year.

Because it is the 10th anniversary, there are some special activities planned for the 2018 celebration including bean bag tosses, a chicken cup race, a rubber duck race, and other happenings throughout each day.

The following contests will be held, and prizes awarded: Friday, Aug. 24, at 5 p.m., Bess Bug race. Then at 6 See FUN ON THE FARM, page 88

There will also be special shirts available for purchase that will help provide funds to operate Fun on the Farm in the future.

About Fun on the Farm Fun on the Farm is a permanent exhibit at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. It was created by Calan Olsen in response to a suggestion from his grandpa, Steve Frischknecht.

10 years ago it all began with eight buildings that were placed in a lawn area that was far from permanent.

Through the years, a market and insect building have been added and the whole exhibit was placed in a permanent location.

Over time, sidewalks, lawn, sprinklers, and fencing have been added. This year, the plan is to add a silo and to give many of the buildings a much needed facelift.

Mashaylie Burnside serves as 2017-18 Miss Sanpete County Outstanding Teen Mashaylie Burnside was crowned Miss Sanpete County Outstanding Teen for 2017-18 in July 2017. She recently reported that the past year has been amazing and one she will cherish forever.

“Throughout my reign I’ve had the opportunity to implement my platform, “Age Effects the Body Not the Soul,” by teaming up with Miss Sanpete County Michayla Jackson,” said Burnside.

“Then during the holidays, Miss Sanpete County and I delivered goodie bags to the elderly’s homes and hospitals around Sanpete County. They were so grateful to receive gifts from us and it warmed our hearts.”

“We love to give a helping hand or to do any act of kindness that betters the community around us. During Christmas, I was able to volunteer at the Fairview Museum and help with the Festival of Trees,” she said.

“I was also privileged to travel with the Snow College Business Department to local middle schools and high

“I would like to thank my directors, Emily, Anne, and Rachel. You all are amazing and work so hard, without you the pageant wouldn’t happen,” she said.

“I would also like to thank the Sanpete County Fair Board for allowing the outstanding teen royalty to be part of the fair and help with festivities!”

“My favorite event at the fair was the derby,” she said, “we had so much fun throwing out prizes and riding in the grand entry on the derby car. I appreciate the people of Sanpete County for letting me represent this beautiful county.”

Sanpete County Fair

First-ever Cowboy Mounted Shooting event coming to rodeo

One of the fastest growing equine sports in the nation, Cowboy Mounted Shooting, is part of the 2018 Grand Celebration, RMPRA Rodeo. It all gets underway at 7 p.m., each night, Thursday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 25, at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds new arena, approximately 500 North State, Manti.

The sport of mounted shooting got started in Arizona in 1996. Since then, interest in the competition sport has exploded, with lots of interested riders. Brent Daniels is one of the original Sanpete County shooters and he is the one that helped Lon Pritchard get started.

The Cowboy Mounted Shooting completions involve the use of two six guns, rifle or a double barrel shotgun and a fast horse. It is a timed event with five second penalties for targets missed and the fasted overall time wins.

There are 64 different courses.

See SHOOTING, page 93

Lon Pritchard and other Cowboy Mounted Shooters will provide pre-rodeo entertainment at 7 p.m., Thursday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 25.

Each town in Sanpete County had to begin somewhere, by someone, perhaps for a certain reason settlers came here.

Historical beginnings in Sanpete County It all started when the Ute Chief Wakara invited pioneers to settle the San Pitch valley, named after a tribe of hunter-gatherer Indians. Wakara claimed that the Great Spirit had appeared to him in a dream, telling him to welcome the white men.

Later, Wakara engaged his guests in the infamous “Walker War� from 1853-54. The Black Hawk War, named for another Ute leader, also disrupted county settlement from 1865-68.

Eventually, the San Pitch name was corrupted to Sanpete, which then became Sanpete County.

Some historians now believe that more than the agricultural skills Wakara claimed to want for himself and his tribe, he was interested in the cattle that the pioneers seemed to take with them everywhere they went. The county wasn’t the only entity to undergo a name change.

Most of the cities within the county have gone through changes in identity since their founding.

Indianola Lying at the northeast edge of Thistle Valley, Indianola was organized as a ward and named by Apostle Erastus Snow in 1880. Then it numbered over 100 members-half Indians, half Whites.

North Sanpeters had herded livestock in the valley and even homesteaded there before Brigham Young decided to set up a model Indian farm for Utes not already removed to the Unitah Basin. Eventually the church had to pay $12,000 to induce pioneers to vacate the valley.

Eventually, most of the Utes moved away, died, or simply failed to multiply, so some of the sellers eventually returned to the valley. Most of them lived on their farms rather than locate close to the brick meetinghouse (now a granary) built on the town site.
