Well, another Roy Days Super Friday & Saturday has ended successfully!
Along with record attendance we had over 100 vendors this year at the George Wahlen North Park in Roy, Utah on July 31 and August 1, 2009. The Roy Kiwanis Club hosted the annual Salmon Bake Friday night. There were many great food vendors ranging from glazed nuts, Navajo tacos, pizza, chicken, Thai, Philipino, deep fried twinkies and oreos, shaved ice, cotton candy, Guatamalen, scones, churros, gyros, ribbon fries, hamburgers, hotdogs, handmade fries, and BBQ. Oh, and who can't live without funnel cakes at an event like this?!
We had other vendors who had fine art, a clown making balloon animals, the ARMY had a great climbing wall, an inflatable bubble machine and water slide that the kids loved, a psychic, a flushing toilet dunk tank, toys, books, handcrafted items, informational and educational booths and so many more... First Baptist Church is always popular for giving out free ice cold bottles of water!
One big change this year was the stage area in the middle of the park. Thanks to Winegar's grocery store we were able to shade the audience with their huge tent. It sure made a big difference. The stage was also constantly filled with great entertainment. Thanks to all those who performed, teched, and scheduled!
Many thanks to the City of Roy, the Roy Parks Department (especially my buddies, Doug, Brady, and Scott!), Brandon the electrician, the Roy High Marching Band kids (who did clean up),
and most importantly to all the vendors who participated this year.
Just a reminder that the Super Friday & Saturday part of Roy Days is run entirely by unpaid (!) volunteers and 100% of the proceeds go towards the Roy High Marching Band program for equipment, instruments, and competition costs. Last year Roy High Marching Band placed 1st in State in our division and we couldn't do it without your support.
I received great feedback from several vendors and hope that next year is even better. Feel free to leave your input but please be polite! We had the expected bumps that go along with a huge event like this but we all worked together to make a great couple of days. On a sad note, I learned that long-time vendor Dee Price passed away in May. Our condolences to her family from Roy.
Super Friday & Saturday will be on July 30 & 31, 2010. Applications will be available April 1, 2010 at

Thanks again to all who participated in any way!
