Sanders County Fairgrounds Infrastructure

The Sanders County Fairgrounds Infrastructure Improvements project focuses on essential safety, accessibility, and durability upgrades at one of the county's most heavily used public venues. The project includes two priority improvements:

• Replacement of the aging wooden catwalk between the grandstands and bleachers with a durable, all-metal stair and platform system
• Renovation of the south bleachers through plank replacement, metal restoration, and protective resealing

Together, these upgrades ensure continued safe use during large-scale public events.

The Sanders County Fairgrounds functions as a year-round regional destination supporting tourism, agriculture, youth development, and community life.

• Improves visitor safety. Replacing aging seating and circulation infrastructure reduces risk and ensures safe movement for large crowds.
• Enhances accessibility. Durable, modern stair and seating systems improve comfort and usability for families, seniors, and attendees of all ages.
• Protects a regional event hub. These upgrades preserve the fairgrounds' ability to host fairs, rodeos, concerts, and festivals.
• Maximizes existing investment. Extending the life of current facilities protects prior public investments and avoids the cost of replacement.

Protecting this working destination ensures Sanders County can continue hosting signature events that drive local spending and regional visibility.
