Fair means family

Ceremony marks grand opening of North Idaho State Fair

For Dave and Sue Nussear, the North Idaho State Fair is more than entertainment, food and fun. It’s family. “We know them all so well, we get along and we help each other,” Sue said of those involved with the annual event. “It’s just a wonderful group.” Dave Nussear served on the fair board for 26 years and now sits on the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo Foundation. “We’ll be here every day,” he said, as they waited for the grand opening of the fair to begin on a sunny, 91-degree Friday afternoon.
