Roosevelt streets were hopping this week with the largest Halloween parade of little costumed kids of the annual event’s history. A different kind of parade will hit Roosevelt today and
tomorrow
with a massive turnout expected for the annual Holly Fair. To start, the response from vendors has been overwhelming with nearly 200 set up with their specialty items spread out over 4 locations, shares Duchesne County Chamber Director Irene Hansen. Excitement from those traveling to Roosevelt from outside the Basin has also been overwhelming with outreach and response from Rangely, Price, Heber and beyond of those planning to come spend their weekend in Roosevelt. “We’ve seen a real excitement growing this year,” says Hansen. “With the local economy more fragile there are many new ‘kitchen table’ entrepreneurs that are using their talents to create new things and are using this venue to promote their items.” The Holly Fair runs Friday from
10:00am to 8:00pm
and
Saturday
from
9:00am to 4:00pm
with locations in Roosevelt at USU, Strata Networks, Grace Event Center and Crossroads Senior Center.
