Events must appeal to wide variety of interests

I just heard that we may be losing a couple of events at the fairgrounds. My family and I do not go to the horse events. We attend the fair, but we really enjoy going to the mud drags and the demo derby. I just can't understand how the fairgrounds, having sell-outs for both of these events can stop them because the horse people are crying about how the arena was built for them and not for motor sports.

Last time I checked the fairground are for everyone to use (taxpayers). For those of us who love motor sports, we want to stay in Sandpoint to watch them and not have to drive to Coeur d'Alene or Spokane.

I hope that the fairgrounds board of directors will ask the people of Sandpoint what they want.
