FORT HALL — A variety of people and Tribal Works Department are assisting in getting the Shoshone-Bannock Festival arbor, racetrack and rodeo grounds ready for the annual event scheduled August 11 to 14.

Shoshone-Bannock Festival Coordinator Leah Pandoah said they’re looking at the safety of everything so currently Greg Osborne is replacing partitions in the arts and crafts booths. He’s also replacing any poles that may have rotted on the east side of the booths and had to replace the roof on one of the booths. He said the booths held up pretty good over the years but some didn’t have treated poles that’s why they needed replacing. Also some needed the wood secured to the roofs. (cont.)
