Wasatch County awards $50K in grants for special events

Carol Clawson
One 2026 grant recipient was the annual Soldier Hollow Sheepdog Championship and Festival.

Awards were granted to 13 local events in the Heber Valley.

Heber Valley Tourism awarded $50,000 in special event cooperative marketing grants for 2026 to support local activities in Wasatch County.

The 13 recipients include a western comedy musical, haunted hay ride, live music, Ragnar races and other local annual events in the Heber Valley.

Each recipient received up to $5,000 per project and a 50% match requirement.

The events represent a mix of equestrian, cycling, motorsports, performing arts, holiday celebrations and community festivals.

The grant is designed to increase tourism awareness in the valley, drive overnight stays and support local events that bring visitors from outside county lines.

Heber Valley Tourism is a financial supporter of KPCW.
