Subject:[EXTERNAL] NW Montana State Fair

• We want to return to in-person instruction with our students, and the Fair jeopardizes the
possibility of a safe start to the school year as it ends just four days before the first day ofschool.
• We support the educational component of the Fair for 4-H students and believe it can go
forward safely.
• The additional activities of the fair, including the carnival, rodeo, demo derby, music andrelays cannot be safely managed.
• We support mask wearing at the 4-H events and the governor’s mask mandate.
Questions
How do you plan to enforce the rules you have set forth?
Who is liable if there are sickness and deaths from COVID that are traced to the Fair?
What is the responsibility of the Board of Health, the Northwest Montana Fair, and theFlathead County Commission when Annie Bukacek, member of the Board of Health, is
actively encouraging people to reject the governor’s mask mandate and the healthdepartment’s recommendations?
