This Memorial Day, our office will be closed on Monday, May 25, as we pause to honor the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. We are especially grateful for our local American Legion, whose dedication strengthens our community year‑round — including their incredible support during the Fair, where they help serve beverages and raise funds that go right back into local youth and veterans’ programs. Thank you to all who serve, past and present.

Dennis has represented Bonneville County since being appointed in early 2019. A graduate of Bonneville High School, he still lives in Idaho Falls with his wonderful wife of more than 50 years. Together they enjoy time with their five children, their spouses, and 19 grandchildren.
Dennis spent more than 40 years in the banking industry and served nine years as president of the Idaho State Ag Bankers Association, bringing valuable financial experience to the board. He has also dedicated 17 years to the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Reserve.
A longtime supporter of the Fair, Dennis and his family attended for many years before he became a director. He’s also involved with the War Bonnet Rodeo committee and has helped in many aspects of producing the event. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family, attending the National Finals Rodeo, and making memories on fall hunting trips.
At the Eastern Idaho State Fair, one of Dennis’s favorite events is the Draft Horse Competitions—where the strength, beauty, and precision of these incredible animals are on full display. 🐎🎡
