Fairy and Ray Delay 2006
The Idaho State Forestry Contest is made possible in large part by the generosity of the Delay Family who have hosted the annual event for since it began in 1982! Ray and Fairy Delay were founding members of the Idaho State Forestry Contest and saw the need to expose Idaho's youth to the many facets of forest management. We thank Ray Delay Jr. for continuing his families support by once again hosting the Idaho State Forestry Contest!
