Open Pet Show

Friday, August 26 2 p.m. Fairgrounds Pavilion

The Sanpete County Fair’s 43rd Annual Open Pet Show will be held at the fairgrounds pavilion at 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26. Youth ages 18 and younger are encouraged to give their “pet” a bath or shower, dress it up and bring it to the pet show to strut their stuff.

You may ask, “What is a pet?” Well, quite simply and concisely, a pet can be almost anything. Who is to say that a mouse, spider, sneaky snake or a starling can’t be a pet? The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” also applies to pets.

No pre-registration is required to participate, but those wanting to participate should arrive by 1:45 p.m. that day to complete their registration. Entry categories are as follows: Small Dog, Large Dog, Cat, Rabbit, Reptile, Bird and Fowl, Costume, Large Pet, Most Unique and Open.

There is no fee to enter and each entrant will receive a ribbon. There will be a first-place winner in each category and each first-place winner will receive a trophy.
