SANDPOINT — Rodeos, events, 4H exhibits and judging competitions – it’s all happening at the fair! For these and many other contributions to the community, The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recognizes the Bonner County Fairgrounds as its “Business of the Month.”
With the tireless efforts of Rhonda Livingstone, fair manager; and Robert “Bob” Snider, head groundskeeper; the Bonner County Fairgrounds provides a free educational opportunity for the residents of Bonner County to display ideas and articles from their areas of expertise as well as allowing local organizations and businesses an opportunity to present their products to the public.
Rhonda has been the fair manager for 10 years and volunteered her services for seven years prior to becoming manager.
Robert just recently oversaw the completion of the faility’s new RV campgrounds in May. With 33 campsites, restroom facilities, showers, electric and water hookups and covered pavilion, the new campground provides comfortable RV stays whether camping or attending a horse show, fair officials said.
With the Bonner County Fair and Rodeo just around the corner, the new campground facilities will be well received. This year’s theme is “Fiesta at the Fair” and should prove to be fun and educational for the entire family.
From Tuesday, Aug. 24 through Saturday, Aug. 28, the community is invited to plan a day at the fair and see themany activities, livestock exhibits, demolition derby, Horsin’ Around Expo and more.
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce officials said they are pleased to honor the Bonner County Fair as the recipient of the Business of the Month and wishes them continued success.
