July 25, 2025— Elections info, Summit County Fair, fire danger reminders
Hey everyone! Welcome back to another week of news here on Summit in Six!
In today’s episode, we are going to cover elections info and give a little upcoming events roundup! Alright, let’s get into the news.
– ELECTIONS INFO
Attention Summit County Voters! Ballots for the 2025 Primary Elections were mailed this week, so keep an eye out in your mailboxes! The primaries this year include races for Coalville Mayor and City Council, Henefer Mayor, Francis City Council, and Park City Council. Our listeners can learn more about the 2025 Primary Elections, including when, where and how to vote, at summitcounty.info/2025primaries.
Legislation passed by the Utah Legislature has brought some important changes related to voting and elections that we wanted to highlight for voters.
First, ballots must be RECEIVED by the Clerk’s Office by 8 PM on Election Day (Tuesday, August 12, 2025). In the past, ballots had to be POSTMARKED the day BEFORE Election Day. Voters should be aware of the shorter timeline to return their ballots.
Second, voters will notice a line on their ballots where they can opt in to receiving ballots by mail going forward. After 2029, voters will need to opt in to receive mail-in ballots. You won’t just automatically receive one anymore. The Summit County Clerk’s Office is giving voters a chance to opt-in early.
The final change voters might notice on their ballots is a section to put their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security Number. By 2029, these numbers will be the only way to match each ballot with each voter — replacing signature verification.
If you have any questions about these changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected].
– Summit County Fair Begins August 2!
The Summit County Fair is held annually during the first full week of August. It’s a traditional small town county fair with cowboys and bucking broncos, a carnival midway, beauty queens, home canned goods, flowers, vegetables, and more. Events are held throughout Summit County and the home base is quiet, scenic Coalville, Utah. Visit summitcountyfair.org for more details and a full schedule of events.
Bike Valet at Fair (NEW THIS YEAR!)
Ride your bike to the Fair and save yourself the trouble of parking thanks to a free bike valet from August 7–9! If you live within biking distance of the fairgrounds, we hope you’ll consider visiting the fair on two wheels. Help us make the fair more convenient and enjoyable than ever!
Enjoy this new perk thanks to a team-up between Summit Bike Share and the Sustainability Division of Summit County Health Department. The valet service will allow attendees to safely and securely store their bike while they enjoy the festivities. Just drop off your bike with county staff directly across from the Ledges Event Center, and retrieve it when you’re ready to leave!
Using the bike valet will cut down on traffic, make coming and going a breeze, and support an active and sustainable lifestyle. Plus it’s fun for the whole family!
— One Book, One Community
Join Summit County Library and Park City Library at the culmination of their “One Book, One Community” program for 2025!
Listen to author John Valliant talk about his book, “Fire Weather,” next week on Tuesday, July 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Jim Santy Auditorium at Park City Library (1255 Park Ave.). There will be a Q&A and book signing after the presentation. The book details the devastating Fort McMurray fire in 2016, and delves into the human and environmental factors that have accelerated the frequency and destruction of wildfire.
“Fire Weather” was named best book of the year for 2023 by the New York Times, Washington Post, TIME, and more! It was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in Nonfiction. We hope you’ll join us for this special opportunity to hear from the author. Special thanks to Friends of the Park City Library, Friends of the Summit County Library, and Dolly’s Bookstore.
— Fire Danger Very High
High temps and scant rain mean no relief from the threat of fire. Summit County is currently at “Very High” fire danger and Stage 1 restrictions are in place for all municipal, state, and county lands in Summit County.
For all things wildfire, including emergency alerts, active fire updates, fire conditions & more, visit summitcounty.info/fire to sign up for notifications and information.
