Utah State Fair

Today we experienced the Utah State Fair, and it was an experience! The main event was the Demolition Derby. The arena was literally bursting with people all trying to get a view of the show. Evan actually seemed to like the first round, but by the second round he had seen enough (me too, smile) so we headed home. Bill was a little disappointed at our early departure because he said this was one of the best demolition derbys he had ever seen. Sorry you all missed it, smile.

This is the same tractor that is still in use on the Crowley farm, a 1948 Model 8N Ford. Bill spotted it out of a crowd of other tractors on display.
About 30 minutes before the Demolition Derby, you can see the grandstands are already pretty full.
Playing in the sawdust.
You can get an idea of how many people were packed in the arena.
