BESSEMER — At their most recent meeting, members of the Gogebic County Board of Commissioners acted not to reappoint three members of the Gogebic County Fair Board.

The Nov. 20 action actually was a lack of action in that a motion by Commissioner James Byrns to accept the reappointments of Quinlan (“Tom”) Hampston, Melinda Kostac and Linda Nelson died for lack of a second.

The terms expired on Sunday.
