Dust, Boots, and Big Hearts: See You at the Rodeo!

We’ve all been there: you’re pulling on your favorite pair of broken-in boots, shaking the dust off your cowboy hat, and trying to figure out how many funnel cakes is too many funnel cakes. The sun is setting over the valley, the kids have sticky faces from cotton candy, and the air is thick with the smell of popcorn and sweet grass.
That’s right—Wasatch County Fair Days are finally here!
Fair Days are the ultimate summer tradition. It’s the week when our community gathers to slow down, catch up, and cheer till our voices are hoarse. But amidst the roar of the Demolition Derby engines and the flying dust of the Mountain Valley Stampede Rodeo, there is an even bigger heartbeat driving the fun this year.
When you join us out in the stands, you’re not just making family memories—you’re helping us fuel serious, life-changing support for our neighbors.
Spot the Purple: What to Look For at Our Booth
The Horse of Many Colors will be right in the middle of the action, and we can’t wait to see you! As you’re wandering through the rodeo grounds, look for our booth!
Whether you’ve been a part of our family since the days of that very first pink auction guitar, or you’re completely new to what we do, stop by and say hello. Here is what you can expect when you drop in:
Real Connection: Meet the faces behind the foundation and learn how we help local families navigating a cancer diagnosis.
Exclusive Merch: Grab your official gear to show your support around town. Every dollar goes directly into our grant program!
A Place to Share: Have a loved one you want to honor, or a story of your own? Come chat with us. We love nothing more than connecting with our community.
How "Fun" Events Fuel Serious Change
It’s easy to look at high-flying flames in the Demolition Derby or a wild ride at the rodeo and just see a great night of entertainment. But at The Horse of Many Colors, we look at those events and see hope.
Our foundation was born out of a single night at the rodeo back in 2013, and that community-first spirit hasn’t changed. Every ticket sold, every roar from the crowd, and every dollar raised at Fair Days goes directly toward easing the heavy financial and emotional burdens that local families face when fighting cancer.
Cancer doesn't care about bills, groceries, or gas prices—but our community does. The funds raised during these high-octane events are transformed into direct grants that allow moms, dads, grandparents, and children in our valley to focus on what matters most: healing.
See You in the Stands!
So, pull on those boots, gather your crew, and get ready for the best part of the summer. Let’s fill the grandstands, stir up some dust, and show everyone how big the heart of this valley truly is.
When: July 23 – August 1, 2026
Where: Wasatch County Event Complex
Come for the rodeo, stay for the derby, and don’t forget to swing by The Horse of Many Colors booth to say hi. Together, we color the path to hope!
