Oftentimes, along with the food, the fun and entertainment, the yearly Sweetwater County Fair brings with it people who make poor decisions and, unsurprisingly, get arrested for making those decisions.
This year was different however. Only four people were arrested during Wyoming’s Big Show last week. According to Sheriff Mike Lowell, three of the arrests were for drunk in public while the fourth was as due to an outstanding warrant. Lowell said the number of arrests were an all-time low number for the fair.
Lowell believes the low number of arrests were due to lower numbers of people attending the fair from previous years. While official counts are not available yet, Lowell said he thought attendance levels were down from previous fairs.
“It was a very mild-mannered year,” Lowell said. “We’re thankful for that.”
