Everyone in the Commission Office wants to express our deepest gratitude to all the individuals, organizations, and volunteers who assisted in Weber County for Utah’s flood mitigation efforts.

This Spring proved challenging as our region faced unprecedented, if not dangerous, levels of flooding. We could not have managed this difficult situation without the support and contributions of so many dedicated community members.

First and foremost, we sincerely thank the Weber County Public Works team who worked around the clock to plan, prepare, and respond to the flood. Without exception, their efforts were truly remarkable, and we are very grateful for their dedication and hard work.

We also want to recognize all our emergency responders, volunteers, and community members who came together to help those affected by the flooding. Your selflessness and willingness to lend a helping hand made a significant impact on the lives of those in our community.

We appreciate all the local businesses and organizations who generously donated supplies and resources to support the flood mitigation efforts; all of your contributions were instrumental in ensuring that our community could respond quickly and effectively to this crisis.

Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the residents of Weber County. Once again, you demonstrated incredible resilience, patience, and support during this challenging time. We are proud to be a part of such a solid and compassionate community.

Thanks to everyone who played a role in flood mitigation efforts here in Weber County, Utah

Your dedication, generosity, and hard work have made a significant impact on our community, and we are very grateful for your contributions.

New this year, the Weber County Fair will host a 23,000 sq. ft. bounce house, stilt walkers, a BMX and trampoline show, an Oreo art exhibit, strolling princesses, and so much more. No matter your age, there is something for you! We’re excited to offer fairgoers a Ladies’ Night Concert on Thursday where we’ll sing from the top of our lungs and celebrate girl power with Tanner Adell and Robyn Ottolini. The concert will be free with fair admission. The Weber County Fair is also home to one of the best and most competitive Jr. Livestock programs in the state of Utah. Our Jr. Livestock Auction brings in over $1,000,000 that goes directly into the pockets of the youth of Weber County. Supporting this event is key to funding a college education for many students, the purchase of future animals, covering feed costs, etc. No Weber County Fair experience is complete without sampling delicious foods and beverages from local vendors. You’ll find all the classics, such as corn dogs and funnel cakes. Visitors can indulge in various treats to satisfy their cravings and walk away full to the brim!

The Weber County Fair offers something for everyone. Whether you are interested in music, food, agriculture, or simply spending time with family and friends, this annual event is not to be missed. It is a celebration of community and tradition and a chance to experience the best of Weber County culture.
