BONNERS FERRY — For some people, Labor Day means a day of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, or watching a football game, or even a road trip — but for some members of the Boundary County Artist Association, which is growing close to being established for 60 years, Labor Day meant a day of drawing and painting in the dappled shade of the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge.
