Welcome to ‘One Grand Celebration’ From the 2018 Fair Book — The Sanpete County Commissioners happily welcome everyone to “One Grand Celebration,” the 2018 Sanpete County Fair! Last year’s fair marked the loss of the nearly 100-year-old iconic grandstand. This year marks the beginning of a new era, a new arena and a new grandstand for the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. The renovation continues, there is much to do to complete the upgrades. We invite all to become part of this renovation and new era. Come to the Sanpete County Fair and be part of One Grand Celebration! We encourage everyone to join with us in expressing profound gratitude for the tireless work of the Sanpete County Fair Board, The Sanpete County Road Department, many Sanpete County employees and the world class craftsmanship of the contractors and engineers. These Sanpete County employees, contractors and engineers have done more than provide their very best skills, they have provided these skills at a more than reasonable cost to the county. We thank you again for being part of “One Grand Celebration” and will see you at the 2018 Sanpete County Fair! Sanpete County Commissioners Scott Bartholomew, Claudia Jarrett and Steve Lund
