As the 104th Weld County Fair runs from July 23 through August 1, the Weld County Board of Commissioners were recently presented with the fair book, a continuing time-honored tradition. The royalty court is charged with representing the Weld County Fair at events throughout the county and around the state. Their duties include participation in parades, hosting the Royalty for a Day Program, held July 24, to encourage youth in Weld County to one day become fair royalty, and handing out ribbons to competitors at multiple activities throughout the week of fair.
