Box Elder County Fairgrounds — Local services in Tremonton

We came to watch the monster truck 10th anniversary insanity tour on 5/11/2024 with VIP passes. The show itself was good and I would come again, but That being said there was a lack of guidance for vip holders and general admission Holders to line up to get in the gates. There was a ticket office with double windows one could have been for general admission and the other for VIP. also Could have used cones or something to direct the crowd to the right window. This was causing the crowd to spread out into the parking area Causing Congestion for vehicles to get around people to be able to Park. We were told to move towards the fence, but kinda hard to do when there were vehicles parked on the fence where they wanted us to line up. There was only one merchandise area so the lines were long to get our VIP merchandise before entering the show. It was a bit unfair that you got a 20% discount at the show for merchandise but did not appear that if you pre-ordered your merchandise with your VIP ticket online that you go the discount. I believe a second merchandise table And entrance for VIP would have been helpful so VIP holders got everything that they paid for. We did not get our 10th anniversary badge and lanyard just our VIP badge. The vip seating area was not very well marked or easy to find. The poor security guy had a hard time keeping none vip people out. Sorry but white tape and one little 12” sign isn’t going to keep people out. Also there was no guidance once the main side of the stands were full to direct people to the other side Which went through the concession stand area, causing confusion For people who were in line for food or trying to get to overflow seating. There was a need for more concession stands to handle the large crowd and Break up the line congestion. Once you got your food and needed condiments They were sat on a table that everybody could handle, and it was not a clean area. There were no Napkins or wet Wipes available. I believe that should’ve been controlled by a fair employee to eliminate spreading of germs and chaos. The parking was also a little bit of a issue. There was no parking lines/rows to follow and no parking attendant to help line cars up To maximize parking space. there was a lot of open space but no way to park a car in it. Like I said at the beginning of this review, the show was good in itself, but the organizing to get into the show and during the show was very chaotic and unpleasant...

20240601 Trash Car Racing Series. My crew and I went to see some races tonight. I was directed to the west side of the rodeo arena to park. One of my companions is bound to a wheelchair. There are a lot of parking spaces designated for handicapped placard holders, but there was no place for me to park as all the designated spots were filled. Not many cars parked in the ♿️ handicapped designated spots had plates or placards visible. If my companion haf driven himself to the trace, he would not have been able to attend due to the lack of a handicapped spot. Thankfully, I was driving, and so I just dropped him off at the gate. I then parked and walked over and joined my party at the box office/gate.

Another issue we experienced was that one of the food vendors was parked on the sidewalk, which made it much more difficult for my wheelchair bound friend to get around. Going off roading in his motorized wheelchair 👩‍🦼 takes a serious toll on this critical piece of equipment. I mean, thanks to the Shriners, he has a wheelchair, but getting this equipment repaired when it breaks (because of stuff like this happening everywhere he goes) is extremely difficult. My friend's prognosis is not good. Thankfully, nothing bad happened to him or his equipment. I just think this is unfortunate. I am not the type of person to call for someone to be towed or fined. I do hope that the people attending the fairgrounds will do a better job of making these facilities easier to navigate for people who are crippled.

County Fair 2023: Pretty nice place for a fair. Some excellent food vendors. A lot of community support....

Generally the county fairgrounds is located at the county seat, which is Brigham City. However, that is not the case in Box Elder County Utah. The county has worked hard over the past few years to upgrade their facility. The exterior is friendly with better signage. Inside the rodeo grounds a flat screen video board does a great job showing off the action. On the fairgrounds a new building holding two full sized basketball courts has benefited the...
