The Lieutenant Governor says it’s still early in the election season and Labor Day is traditionally the kick off for his campaign, but they are getting a little head start and will ramp up the campaigning as they get closer to November.
Little says the 4-H program has remained a large part of the fair for many years.
“This fair is where a lot of people come out and support the youth programs. The 4H program, and you know if we’re going to keep good sustainable agriculture base in Idaho, we need those programs to keep getting young people interested in agriculture, so that’s pretty important to me,” says Lieutenant Governor Brad Little.
Little says his next stop is Woodriver Valley for the end of ‘Wagon Days.’
