The carnival opens on Wednesday at 4pm on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, people can enter at 11:00 a.m. and it closes at 11:00 p.m.
The arrival of the weekend brings big-ticket events, and more booths and entertainers during the days to boot.
On Friday and Saturday, cowboys with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association will be in the spotlight, a week after riding at the Wasatch County Fair. Their events include bull riding, barefoot riding, saddle riding, barrel racing, roping and steer wrestling.
Tickets are available on the Summit County Fair website.
