Record Sized Pardi @ WIF!
A LOT of people got out and savored all of the aspects of the Western Idaho Fair in August. Many of the people that I talked to mentioned that not having the fair last summer due to the pandemic made them realize that maybe they’d taken the experience for granted over the years. They mentioned that they had returned to the fair this summer with a new appreciation for it and were taking some extra time to not just “do the rides” or go to the concerts they were planning to walk around and also see the animal and craft exhibits too.
The final figures for overall fair attendance have not been released yet - BUT we do know that Jon Pardi’s concert set an all time new attendance record!
Check this out:
