Fair Days has always been one of my favorite traditions in Wasatch County.
Serving this community over the past 25 years has given me the opportunity to be part of Fair Days in many different ways.
When I first joined the Wasatch County Sheriff's Office, I had the honor of marching in the Fair Days Parade as part of the Color Guard. A few years later, I was driving the D.A.R.E. car through the parade. As my career continued, I spent many years helping with traffic and public safety when the parade route ran down Main Street.
Beyond the parade, I've had the privilege of patrolling the rodeo, carnival, concerts, demolition derby, and so many other Fair Days events. My favorite part has always been meeting people, visiting with families, and seeing friends old and new. Those conversations remind me why I chose a career in public service.
This year's parade was especially meaningful. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces along the route. Thank you to everyone who waved, cheered, shouted my name, shook my hand, or stopped to give me a hug. Those moments meant more to me than you know. Your kindness, encouragement, and support are deeply appreciated, and they remind me how fortunate I am to serve this incredible community.
Wasatch County isn't just where I work. It's home. I've had the privilege of serving this community for 25 years, and I know our traditions, our values, and the people who make this county such a special place.
As your Sheriff, I will continue to be part of Fair Days and the many other events that bring our community together, because I've always believed a sheriff should be present, approachable, and actively involved in the community they serve.
Thank you to everyone who makes Fair Days one of the best weeks of the year. It is an honor to be part of this community, and I look forward to continuing to serve Wasatch County for many years to come.
I also want to thank my family for their support and for always being there for me.
