North Idaho State Fair opens Friday
For Jordan, that means young and old will turn to the Kootenai County Fairgrounds for the 10-day run of the North Idaho State Fair that begins Friday. It’s the annual summer feast of food, drink, music, a carnival, rodeos and so much more, including the famous Budweiser Clyesdales. Pulling it together is a difficult as it sounds, with hopes for a record-breaking crowd of more than 170,000 that filed through the gates last year.
