COEUR d'ALENE - This year's highlights: More beer, but not everywhere.

Plus a post-rodeo shindig, and discounted tickets online.

On Monday, vendors were already arranging their wares and workers installing towering carnival rides on the Kootenai County Fairgrounds, in preparation for the 2011 North Idaho Fair and Rodeo. The fair officially opens Wednesday. More here. Alecia Warren, Cda Press

Gave away a lot of fair tickets last week. Today's your last chance to pick them up by 5 PM at the SR Cda office.

Do you plan to attend the Fair? What's your favorite thing about it?
