The Utah History Fair is a statewide academic program that turns kids into historians. It gets them involved in primary historical research and provides a series of competitions where they can present their findings. More information at www.usu.edu/utahfair/histfair.html
First and second place winners will compete in the National History Day contest held in Washington D.C.
