 Just before the start of the Biltrami County Fair, the Biltrami County Fairgrounds is getting an upgrade in the shape of new handicap accessibility improvements. Several gathered for the unveiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. People with disabilities won't have to struggle with gravel or sand if they're in a wheelchair. Now all the areas where pedestrians go through during the course of the fair have pavement. Guests will have easier access to every building on the property. It may mean whether they can come to the fair or not and also if they do come to the fair they're going to have a much more pleasurable experience and also their caregiver as well too in the parents of little kids. But handicap has been a struggle for years. Handicap bathrooms were terrible. You couldn't get in them because the cart is bigger than a wheelchair and then three or four years ago they put new handicap bathrooms in which is wonderful and now this is an asset that is just unbelievable. It's great. The Biltrami County Fair runs August 9th through the 13th.
