Davis fairgoers donate tons of food

FARMINGTON — Davis County Fair patrons this summer donated more than 6 tons of food to the Family Connection Center.

The county fair, Aug. 17-20 at the Legacy Events Center, offered patrons a parking rate discount in exchange for a nonperishable food item.

Fair attendees donated 12,855 pounds of food during the four-day event, said Megan Hatch, Davis County Fair coordinator. The total amount of food delivered to the Family Connection Center in Clearfield and Layton is 1,855 pounds more than what officials collected at last year’s event.
