Letter to the Editor - Thank you to the Great Northern Fair Board

Editor,

In May I attended a fair board meeting simply because I was concerned about whether our group would be able to have the cooperation of the fair board to make our 32nd Annual Bear Paw Rod Run a success. It is stressful enough to put on an event of this size without having problems with the venue. I came away from that meeting feeling more confident in what the fair board was doing and knowing that the good ideas they have come up with to keep the fairgrounds up and running could actually work. I can already see these ideas working and with the help from volunteers from this community, they are getting things done.

June 15-17, our car club, Hi-Line Cruz’n Association, held their 32nd Annual Rod Run at the fairgrounds. We had an amazing weekend with a showing of 150 cars from all over Canada and the U.S.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of our car club, to give a big thank you to fair board members, Chelby Gooch, Tyler Smith and Scott Doney for making sure our Rod Run went off without any glitches. Chelby was wonderful to work with and was there every step of the way to make sure we had everything we needed to make this show a success. If she couldn’t answer our questions, she was on the phone to either Tyler or Scott for guidance and they got back to her immediately. Problem solved.

Keep up the good work! You are much appreciated by our club and me personally.
