It’s Fall Fair time! Austin Bijl (r), and Kendra Switzer volunteered to help paint up the goat barn at the fairgrounds in Barriere last weekend in readiness for the 66th Annual North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo this coming weekend. Make sure you check out the goat barn at the fair due to the fact goats are the theme animals for this year’s event.
