Our community Rock Snake in Circleville is missing its head!

A few weeks ago, we discovered that several painted rocks—including "Jake the Snake's" head—were removed.

The rock snakes in Circleville and Junction are created for everyone in the community to enjoy. If you have any information about the missing rocks or know where the snake's head might be, please let us know. If you removed these items, we kindly ask that you return them to Circleville Park, no questions asked.

📞Please report any information to Abby Jessen at (435) 201-0765.

Thank you for helping us protect our community project!

A big thank you to everyone who brought their creative projects to the Piute County Fair Butch Cassidy Days exhibit hall! We had an incredible display, and we couldn't have done it without you. Another warm thank you to everyone who came to see the display; you made it all worth it. Thanks again, and we can’t wait to see you next year!

Your kids made some awesome projects at Sewing Camp! 🧵🪡

We worked on rag quilts, pillows, backpacks, and embroidery! We’d love for them to bring their projects to the Junction Firehouse and show them off at the Exhibit Hall for the fair!

Today is the last day to drop off items. We will be at the Firehouse until 1PM on July 29th. We’d really appreciate it!

Here’s a breakdown:

Drop Off @📍Junction Firehouse

Exhibit Hall

As part of "Dust off the Memories" at the Exhibit Hall (Junction Fire Station) during the Piute County Fair Butch Cassidy Days, we have had some people ask about bringing memories and items from the community other than from the Beaver Mountain.

Given the events of the last week, we are opening up the "Dust off the Memories" Exhibit to other memories from the community. If you have pictures, items or stories that celebrate our great community, bring them in. We would love to share them with everyone who attends the Piute County Fair!
