Twin Falls County Fair Proposes New Arena

As the fair grows and demand for events increases more space may be needed for shows. Courtesy, Bill Colley.

Do you like rodeo? Do you have to travel in winter to see a competition? Would you like to find an event closer to home?

A six-thousand seat facility at the fairgrounds in Filer is one possibility.

This morning we were joined in studio by Scott Tverdy and Clark Kauffman. Mr. Kauffman is a state legislator. Mr. Tverdy is President of the Twin Falls County Fair Foundation. They’ve been looking at ways to handle all the requests for event venues in the county. A feasibility study has been done and now they’re seeking public input on cost, location and possible corporate sponsorship. A six-thousand seat facility at the fairgrounds in Filer is one possibility. I’ve enclosed a video of the discussion on Top Story.
