Again, not mentioned in the article is the amount of time, effort and money spent by young people to raise and care for animals for exhibition. Sales of the livestock raise money for families and higher education for the children. To have a years (actually two years) effort denied at the whim of the governor is more than disheartening, it teaches kids the wrong lesson that effort doesn't matter if you aren't aligned with the political person in charge of the state.

BTW, it was just announced today that livestock sales at our local county fair held last month topped $680,000!

And stoopid folks continue supporting and electing nazi’s like this and Witmer, Murphy, Newsom and others.

Wait to see all the Football stadiums shouting in chorus F-Joe Biden this weekend.
Wait till dementia Joe shows and the 3, 9-11 events on Saturday and again they shout f-Joe Biden.
Will be a chore for the crappola main stream media to ignore it.

Considering that most state fairs are largely outdoor events, this is ludicrous.

It’s nothing but control freak power grabs by wannabe dictators who love nothing more than controlling everyone else’s life.

People should be free to take whatever risks they want. If someone is that fearful of COVID, then they don’t have to attend the fair.

That effectively destroyed 4H. Kid will nix 4H and show in the Jr. Open.

The North Idaho State Fair ran August 20 - 29, twice as long as normal. We hit record attendance, about 50% higher than the previous 5 day fairs.

There were NO requirements for vaccination, for masks, for proof of immunity, or recent negative test. None. Nobody was wearing masks. Everybody was having great fun and the “Gem State Stampede” was thrilling as usual.

Freedom, baby! Yeah.
