FAir Fyi The Native Americans at the Fort Hall Reservation influenced the fair through the one event that has remained from the beginning. The Indian Relay Race was an occasional feature of the fair in the early years, and now Native Americans run the event consistently during the horse races. This event has been popular throughout the history of the fair, but it seemed to burgeon within the last 30 years. In 1964, the new pari-mutuel racing commission and the Fair Board canceled the Indian Relay races. This decision immediately spawned criticism from individuals who called the competition “the most popular part of the racing program.” The racing commission fine-tuned its schedule and the Indian Relay race returned in 1965. The danger in this race brings droves of people to the grandstand during the days that the races are held. my perFect pie Contest sponsored by Karo Corn syrup The makers of KARO Corn Syrup invite you to develop a new pie recipe or perfect a fam- ily favorite and make an entry in the “Perfect Pie Contest” at the Eastern Idaho State Fair!
