The Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the Utah Department of Public Safety are listed as sponsors of the Mexican Independence Day celebration that was held at the Utah State Fair on September 17.

The event featured the Mexican Consul who invited “all the Mexicans in Utah to feel proud of their origins and to keep their culture and traditions, even if they are away from their country.”

The Consul’s speech was consistent with the position taken in 2007 by Felipe Calderon, Mexico's current president, who said: "Finally, Mexico does not end at the border.

How about celebrating The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Day on February 2, when Utah was freed from Mexico.
