Construction



Each year, the Butch Cassidy Days committee tries to make improvements 
to the Fairgrounds.  This year, with the help of the Special Service District, 
County Commissioners, Town of Junction, Robert Lott - General Contractor,
and a long list of volunteers, we were able to replace the old concession
stand with a brand new, top of the line building with all the trimmings.

The Piute County Road Department removes the old building to relocate it
at another place in the arena.


Morrill Brothers Construction completes the footers and the concrete
pad that will become the floor of the building.


Paul Garvey, Junction Town Maintenance covers the leach lines while
Robert Lott, keeps an eye on the fill.

Robert Lott, Roger Zingelman and Stan complete the framing
process and begin putting the trusses in place.


Job Well Done.  The completed building is a success and there was
a long, continuous line during arena events.

Piute Idol

Butch Cassidy Days hosted their first Piute Idol Contest with three finalists competing during the fair.  The competition was held prior to the fair at the High Country Recording Studion in Junction.  The finalists also were awarded cash prizes as well as a recording session at the studio with Bill McIllwain, owner of the studio.
