The 2024 chapter of the Boundary County Fair has been written and work is underway to put everything to bed for next year. The members of the fair board have a brief respite to rest and recharge, to take pride that their Herculean efforts resulted once again in thousands of happy smiles and lasting memories which, while uncountable, are the truest measure of success of such an endeavor.
Judging by the smiles I saw, I’d rate this year’s Boundary County Fair as right at the cusp of spectacular, though I may be biased.
Here are a few more photos, and with them thanks to all who contributed to yet another fair the entire community can take pride in, for what is a county fair but the spirit of the county made manifest … a reflection of us at our best.
Thanks and a tip o’the hat to the Boundary County Fair Board; chair Ken Goggia, vice chair Stacie Watts and members Glenda Poston, Bert Wood and Dave Wenk, to fair administrator Jodi Stoddard, fair manager Jaycee Atkins and fair maintenance supervisor Chris Sabin, to staff in the Boundary County Extension Office, to 4-H leaders and members and to Bonners Ferry High School FFA teachers and students and alumni who wear the blue jacket. To county commissioners Tim Bertling, Wally Cossairt and Ben Robertson, who served on the fair board before his election to commissioner.
Thanks to the vendors, to those who manned the many booths and activities, the wonderful entertainers. To all who entered their year’s best in the exhibits, the judges, the buyers at the market animal sale.
And thank you to all who turned out to enjoy the 2024 Boundary County Fair. All those mentioned above made a fair. You made it spectacular.
Great pics and my granddaughter is a hard worker. Typo went from blueberries to huckleberries in caption. As we age, our continuity goes down the crapper!!!
Ach du liebe! I apologize! My error has been fixed, and I thank you for pointing it out!
