Daybreak Elementary School third graders Mira Thorpe and Achol Kuol wear cow glasses as they eat lunch in the school cafeteria in South Jordan on Wednesday. The school’s lunch workers gave the students a taste of the Utah State Fair by making cow cookies and corn dogs, wearing colorful costumes and offering prizes in a coloring contest. And each student who eats school lunch received a ticket to the Utah State Fair, which begins its 11-day run on Thursday. The fair, now ongoing in some form or another in Utah since 1856, runs through Sept. 15, and will feature animal exhibits, carnival rides, a rodeo and a variety of musical performances. Hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily except on Sept. 10, 11 and 12, when gates open at noon. Admission is $10 for adults; $8 for senior citizens 62 and older, and youths 6 to 12; children under 5 get in free. All-you-can-ride wristbands for carnival rides are $28 per day. Matinee all-you-can-ride wristbands are $20 per day. The matinee wristband is valid from the carnival’s opening until 6 p.m. Parking at the Utah State Fairpark, 155 N. 1000 West, is $10, cash only.
