Century celebration: North Idaho State Fair opens today for 10-day run

Alexcia Jordan has been general manager and CEO of the North Idaho State Fair since 2016. “I'll never know enough. But learning how to take it as it comes and make sure we are as prepared as possible is probably what I've learned the most,” Jordan said. On Thursday, she and her crew were busy taking care of details for the 10-day celebration that runs today through Aug. 28 at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. Jordan, wearing a shirt that said, "I can't keep calm, it's fair week!," buzzed about in a cart, maneuvering around crates and chatting with folks as she went.
