This year’s theme is “Summer’s Best Tradition,� and we can’t think of a better one!

The annual community event celebrates the best of living in our part of the world – food, games, rides, livestock, music and simply enjoying a nice summertime day or evening with your family and friends.

The fair isn’t just for residents of the Gem State either – the fair staff gladly welcomes anyone ready for some serious fun, whether they come from Spokane or St. Louis.

This year’s event includes a blend of traditional fair ďŹ xtures plus some fun additions, including: • A new Idaho Forest Group Main Gate that will feature a modern ticketing system plus a new plaza featuring the economic areas that have contributed to the growth and success of Kootenai County. The new gate installation ceremony takes place on opening day of the North Idaho Fair, 10 a.m. Aug. 20, and also celebrates the 150th anniversary of Kootenai County.

By Angie Dierdorff Marketing Correspondent

In celebration of Kootenai County’s 150th anniversary, the North Idaho Fair staff decided to ramp up the entertainment offerings even more than ever, which means visitors will get their ďŹ ll of everything from comedy to magic, from music to death-defying spectacles, to traditional fair fun sure to amuse and astonish. “I am just thrilled with the quality of electrifying entertainment we are able to offer this year,â€? says Kristi Blaver, the fair and rodeo’s Marketing and Public Relations

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter and other dignitaries are expected to attend. • A headline concert Wednesday evening by country star Dustin Lynch, known for top hits like “Cowboys and Angels,â€? “She Cranks my Tractorâ€? and “Wild in Your Smile.â€? He’s been called “The New Hat in Townâ€? by Rolling Stone, and audiences love his distinct sound but classic touch.

Manager. “The fairgoer in me is bubbling with excitement to get to see all these acts.�

The lineup includes: • “Lady Houdiniâ€? is the nickname Kristen Johnson earned when she broke the record for most water torture cell escapes.

Her terrifying full-view attempts at underwater escape leave audiences breathless. In over 1,000 attempts, Kristen has failed only three times. • For family-friendly comedy, look no further than Tumbleweed Crossing Wild West Shoot Out. This laugh-a-minute act from Texas coined the phrase “Where Historical Meets Hysterical,â€? and offers a unique brand of interactive fun for all. • Straight from “America’s Got Talent,â€? Loop Rawlins is a performer

The Kootenai County Fairgrounds is located at 4056 N. Government Way, Coeur d’Alene, at the corner of Govt Way and Kathleen Ave, approximately 1/4 mile east of U.S. 95. From Interstate 90, take Exit 12 and head north approx. one mile. Turn right on Kathleen Ave, then left on Govt Way. Gate B is the Main Parking Lot. Fair hours: • Gates open at 9 a.m. • Exhibits are open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Wed-Sat and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sun. General Admission: • Adults: $9, • Seniors (60+)/Youth (6-12): $7 • Children (5 and under): Free

The concert will be followed by a large ďŹ rework show, weather permitting. • A new PRCA event Xtreme Bulls, feature nothing but wild bull riding, plus three PRCA rodeos featuring the top contenders of the PRCA circuit, building up points and winning purses in events like barrel racing and steer riding, will take place ThursdaySunday. • The traditional Demolition Derby Sunday, which brings together fearless drivers while raising money for charity. • The return of a carnival and rides from Paradise Amusements – it’s considered the largest carnival in the state. • A collection of vintage carnival

you will never forget. His live show of rope tricks and gun spinning leaves crowds in awe everywhere he goes. • Be sure to catch the “Play With Gravityâ€? extreme motorcycle show this year, where even audience members can volunteer to be part of the Moto-Trail obstacle course.

Fair favorites returning due to popular demand include sand artist Bill Dowe, who creates sculptures unlike any beach sand castle you have seen; and magician Adam the Great, famous for his ability to charm and amaze.

While you wander between the Paradise Amusements Carnival and Uncle Curley’s Funstastic Kids Zone, keep an eye out for a guy on a 6-foot tall unicycle. It’s none other than Kenn Serrano, who sometimes adds juggling aming batons to his high-altitude stunts.

He’s also known for making balloon sculptures taller than most humans.

It wouldn’t be a fair without a world-class hypnotist: this year, the fair presents internationally-known Englishman Richard Barker, who

rides and bingo games, which raise funds for the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo Foundation. • An impressive blend of entertainment all ďŹ ve days, including Lady Houdini’s underwater escape; Tumbleweed Crossing Wild-West Shoot Out; and a truly amazing motorcycle exhibition by Play with Gravity.

America’s Got Talent Loop Rawlins will dazzle with lasso tricks, and Incredible Wildlife Wendy will show off her tropical birds. “When you think about the cost to go to see one entertainer at any other venue, the value of what you can see at the Fair really trumps that,� says North Idaho Fair Marketing Manager Kristi Blaver. “Where else can you experience over 20 world-class acts and attractions for under $10?�

wows audiences with grace and a lot of good-natured humor.

Local talent is highlighted on the Community Stage with a variety of acts including Brad Perry Project, Colby Acuff & Justin Sherfey, Proof of Purchase, Kids Coeurimba African Marimba, and Ashley Honnell.

Energetic kids can check out the Dance Zone - home to gymnastics and dance exhibitions during the day, and a pumped-up dance party for teens once the sun goes down.

Rounding out the line-up is Wildlife Wendy’s attention-loving tropical birds, the interactive Puzzlemania zone, and Yankee Joe’s Gemstone & Fossil Mining, suitable for children of all ages.

Blaver said there’s something for everyone. “With Kootenai County’s 150th Anniversary Celebration and all the ďŹ rst-rate attractions, this Fair will be one the whole area will be talking about,â€? she said.

By RenĂŠe Sande Marketing Correspondent

Dustin Lynch is currently considered “Where it’s at� these days in country music, and he’s ready to show North Idaho Fair and Rodeo guests exactly what “it� is.

The phenomenal young performer from Tennessee will bring his energetic stage presence to Coeur d’Alene for the opening day of this year’s fair. “We are so excited to bring this quality of entertainment back to the Fair this year,� said Kristi Blaver, marketing and public relations director for Kootenai County Fairgrounds. “It’s been over 20 years since we’ve had a headline concert.�

Lynch has been performing for years, but didn’t play seriously until he earned a pre-med degree from David Lipscomb University. In 2003,

Visitors to the North Idaho Fair this year will be part of history.

Earlier this year, the fairgrounds staff was asked to assist Kootenai County in celebrating its 150th anniversary, which coincided nicely with an interest in updating the main entrance.

So at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, Kootenai County commissioners and other dignitaries will ofďŹ cially dedicate the brand-new Grand Entryway.

The new gate will include an improved ticketing booth and process, and will simply modernize how people enter and exit – this time by using a new grand entrance.

Kristi Blaver, the fairground’s director of marketing and public relations, said the expanded entryway will include the ACI Northwest Plaza, which will feature four monuments celebrating the prime industries responsible for the county’s success over the last 150 years: timber, mining,

he followed his heart and headed to Nashville.

Growing up and listening to music icons like George Strait, Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks, Lynch said that he often thought, ‘Man, that would be awesome to be like them.’ I came to Nashville and talked my way into The Bluebird CafĂŠ. I took another step and recorded a ďŹ ve-song album in one day. These are little milestones and you don’t even realize they’re huge building blocks‌It’s always something I dreamed of doing.

I’m just glad I was dumb enough to give it a shot.�

Signed to Broken Bow Records in late 2011, Lynch’s self-titled debut album hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. His ďŹ rst single, “Cowboys and Angelsâ€? hit the top 20 in January 2012. Single No. 2, “She Cranks My Tractorâ€? hit the Top 20 hit in early 2013, followed by “Wild in Your Smile,â€? in the Top 30.

In 2013, Rolling Stone named Lynch “The New Hat in Town.� He’s been called “the heir to George Strait’s throne,� but he brings his own edginess – especially apparent in his fourth big single, “Where’s it’s At.� “It’s crazy what music can do,� says Lynch at DustinLynchMusic.com. “I’ll do a show and have people come up to me in tears because they are getting to share a story about how my songs have affected their life. That’s what makes me want to keep doing the best I can do.�

On his site, he tells visitors that he’s ready to

Friday, August 15, 2014

keep working. “I never give myself a day off. Every time we take that stage is a nice little pat on the back‌ Musically I walk a line that’s a bit more traditional, but I can sprinkle newer inuences on top of that. I wear a cowboy hat. It’s who I am and weirdly enough, in country music cowboy hats are few and far between now.

The door is open for a young guy like me to come in and carry that torch. I’m happy to do so.�

The Dustin Lynch concert is at 6 p.m.

Aug. 20 in the Grandstand. Opening band is Earl Wear and Haywire, and ďŹ reworks will follow the concert, weather permitting. Tickets are $8-$18 depending on location. For more details or to order tickets, visit www.northidahofair.com/ dustin-lynch-concert/.

A collection of current business leaders from these industries also sponsored different parts of the entryway, which include benches, fountains and artwork created by from local artists. “We encourage visitors to the Fair and Rodeo to com and enjoy this new addition,� said Blaver.

The celebration of local history doesn’t end with the new plaza.

Historical societies and museums throughout the county have been invited to put together displays highlighting their activities and respective backgrounds. For much of the summer, these groups have been collecting photos, stories and items from families that will be on display. “The North Idaho Heritage Exhibit� will be housed in Building 7, near the main entrance.

The PRCA Rodeo at the North Idaho Fair is already popular for audience members and riders. But this year, the fun factor is going to be even higher with the addition of a Rodeo Xtreme

Bulls tour. On Thursday, August 21, some of the top bull riders in the West will vie for a $10,000 purse in this event. “This should be a great event and we’re glad to help bring it to Coeur d’Alene,� said Zach Bane of the North Idaho Fair Rodeo Committee. “With NFR quality bulls and riders, it’s going to be amped up, exciting bull riding.�

The Coeur d’Alene venue will be a new one on the PRCA circuit. Some of the riders will hit this one and then head to Ellensburg, Wash., for that community’s Labor Day fair and rodeo.

Spectators can count on daring rides and exciting performances from some of the meanest bulls around in the arena. At least 35 riders plan to take their chance with a bull in a long-go competition.

The top 10 will immediately follow this with a short-go competition, after which one cowboy will earn the title for this tour stop. The winner is decided by two-head average from their performances. Money and points earned on the Xtreme Bulls Tour counts toward PRCA World Standings, which determine Wrangler NFR qualiďŹ ers.

Bane said there will also be Xtreme Bulls events taking place in the region the night before and the night after this one, so many of
