Community + Personal Interest in Iron County
2021 Iron County Fair
Thousands of attendees and participants welcomed the return of the Iron
County Fair to Parowan. This year’s theme “Tough Enough” was perfect for
the occasion because Iron County has certainly proved itself tough enough by
enduring a pandemic and the flooding in our local communities. This year’s Iron
County Fair was not only tough enough, but it was also muddy, crafty, roping,
cooking, dancing, performing, cute and talented enough. This favorite yearly
venue always provides a pleasant avenue of entertaining events for everyone to
enjoy. From the mud bog races, demolition derby, rodeos, creative exhibits,
delicious food venders, dancers, singers, a work-out session and
of course, the carnival, were just a few of the great events
experienced over Labor Day weekend.
