Taylor's Traveling Troupe
The petting zoo and pony rides are where the magic really happens for kids. There’s something special about getting up close with gentle animals. It’s safe, hands-on, and full of those “look at me!” moments perfect for a photo-op.
Morgan Blair Artistry
Face painting isn’t just a quick activity—it’s a mini transformation moment your kid will talk about all day. One minute they’re standing in line, the next they’re a roaring tiger, a sparkling butterfly, or their favorite superhero, grinning ear to ear. It’s fast, safe, and way less messy than it sounds—and the photos alone are worth it. Honestly, it’s one of those small things that turns a regular outing into a core memory.
Sheep Shearing
With 29 years experience, Luke Farmer is a seasoned professional sheep shearer based in Utah. See and learn about sheep shearing from Luke and Kip, 2 times each event day in Demo Arena 1!
The Navajo Sheep Project, a long time friend of the Soldier Hollow Classic - Serving People, Preserving Cultures seeks to preserve and breed back the Navajo Churro sheep, to assist in the further development of flocks in the Four Corners region, supporting Diné and Hispanic breeders and any who seek to protect the legacy of the Navajo Churro. Visit their booth and wonderful wares as well as the Navajo Churro sheep each day of the event by Demo Arena 1!
Salt Lake Scots

MEET AND GREET HELP FOR DOG SPONSORS ATTENDING THE EVENT:
Meet & Greet Help for Dog Sponsors Attending the Event
Meet your sponsored handler/dog team at the Purina Pro Plan Canopy on the west side of the venue, next to the covered bleachers.
Handlers are available after their run and a brief post-run assist — each team helps retrieve sheep for the dog that follows them. So if your team runs 5th, they’ll be free when dog #7 is on course. Aim to arrive just before that run begins so your handler and dog aren’t left waiting.
Don’t forget your phone — you’ll want a photo!

We will have an interactive table where guests can feel different fibers and even try out a drop spindle! Visit with them near Demo Arena 2 Daily from 8am - 4pm each day of the event.
