Fair Board recommends removing aging fairgrounds house and exploring RV park expansion

Bonner County Fair Board presented an engineering feasibility study recommending demolition of an older house on the fairgrounds and studying an expansion of adjacent RV/campground spaces; the board has terminated the existing lease and will seek BOCC approval before any demolition or expansion.
