Utah Co.: Gateway to Adventure!
The Utah County Commission is forking over $5,000 for a contest to promote Utah County as a tourist destination. The grand prize? A trip far, far away from Utah County.It's enough to make you cry.
A survey found that that only 15 percent of Utah County residents would recommend that visitors vacation there — proving that U.Co. residents aren't as dumb as we thought.
The the visitors and convention bureau suggested a "Race all Night" promotion at the end of May. (So the contestants see as little of Utah County as possible?)
During the night race, the contestants presumably will dimly see such U.Co. wonders as the world's only working replica of the Gutenberg printing press; BYU, the nation's "stone-cold sober university;" and, of course, Historic SkankyTown, sometimes called Downtown Provo.
The winner will be blessed with a trip to Cancun.

There are some beautiful spots in Utah County, but you won't see them if you stay in the cities or the suburbs...
Whoever wins this contest will win it by focusing on the mountains, and not on Provo.
Isn't that Mary Carey the porn star who ran for governor of California a couple of years ago?
