FAIR GETS MORE RODEO REQUESTS

Bob Reynolds, Palouse Empire fair manager, reported to the fair board Aug. 22 that the fair has received additional requests from rodeo groups to use the Palouse Empire fair rodeo arena and grounds this year. He noted the fair’s rodeo facility has gained popularity with rodeo groups, probably because the facilities have been maintained and the fairground offers lots of camping and parking space.

Reynolds said he had to turn down the requests because the proposed rodeo dates fell after the fair’s water system for the grounds will be shut off for winter.
