Sandpoint Bypass dedication

Being that blogspot has a mind of its own today... not all pictures are quite in order... as the powers that be at the site, is doing it their way..
This is Jim Coleman, I believe, he is second in command at Idaho Transportation. and the last speaker as I was leaving to get ahead of the traffic out of the area.

Everyone was invited...

The chairs all set up...

the Kayaker came...well, at least they went by...

Color guard was there...

Famous Daily Bee letter writer... Larry Fury was there..

The chairs were filling in...

And of course my fellow blogger Marianne Love, was there with her camera...

This was the first person in...

And as all things in Sandpoint, it was late.. suppose to start at 1:30pm

hope no one had a deadline to meet..

The Mayor of Kootenai, Mike Keough, was there...

some of the speakers were seated... Scott Stokes,George Eskridge, Jim Coleman.

One of our Senators in the front seat... Shawn Keough

Marcelle was there.. (the lady with the famous bun in her hair)

The Idaho Transporation workers were there (they remove the chairs and etc.

George Eskridge gave the speech for the Governor and the Lt. Governor who could not be there... George is our other State congressman.

The woman in orange, has taken more flak all during this bypass building. Mrs. Kiebert will be so glad and relieved when the first car goes across the bypass.

Which they said could be 2 to 3 more weeks. Oh, well.. Sandpoint has waited 60 years, what is a couple of weeks.

Oh, yea.. the Master of Ceremonies . was David Keyes, Editor and Publisher of the Bonner County Daily Bee...
