Do you remember - Fair week!

| August 18, 2016 1:00 AM

It is Boundary County Fair Week! Did you get your entries in? Can you identify this man who won a few ribbons? If you have an answer, please email doyouremember@meadowcrk.com. If you would like to remain anonymous, just let us know.

Last week, we showed you a picture of a couple of women in an interesting vehicle. No one wished to identify Glenda Poston and Mary Jean Leach in what is fondly called “The Doodlebug,” You might remember The Doodlebug from the parades. Well, it will soon be part of the museum collection. If you have any memories to share about this contraption, please let us know. We would like to know more of its history.

The previous week, we shared a picture of the Nelsons and Bruce Merrifield at the Fair food court. We had three anonymous readers identify all three of these folks, and Robert knew Bruce. Hope to see you at the Fair.

Your Boundary County Historical Society and Museum, 7229 Main, Bonners Ferry, sponsors this column. During the summer, the museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. To help maintain the buildings, a small entrance fee is charged at the door. It is $2 per person or $5 per family. There is no charge for those under 14 years old or for the Boundary County Historical Society members. Visit the website at www.boundarycountymuseum.org for a list of the latest events; follow us on our Facebook page; or give us a call at 267-7720.

So much is happening at the museum. New items are being added to the collection all the time. Just when you think you have seen it all, it will be time to come back and heck out what is new. See you soon!
