The Rathdrum Lions Club donated two park benches to the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. From left: Alexcia Jordan, general manager of the North Idaho State Fair, accepted the benches on behalf of the fair from Joseph Hume, president of the Rathdrum Lions Club. The benches are made by Trex and the Lion's club gathers discarded plastic as a service project to make them. It takes 609 pounds of plastic to make one bench and the Lions have donated several benches to nonprofits in the area. This donation was a special one to the fairgrounds and will be added to the area near the food court for people to relax and enjoy fair food and treats.
