KALISPELL — The annual Relay Race at the Flathead County Fairgrounds won't be taking place this year.
According to a news release, the costs of the recent inspections and repairs to the bleachers and grandstands caused delays in decisions about performances in the arena. Because of this, the Relay Races weren’t able to be scheduled for the 2024 Fair and Rodeo.
Relay Race organizer Hardee Skunkcap and Fairgrounds Manager Sam Nunnally reached a mutual decision to call off the 2024 Relay Races.
"The Relay Races have been an important and long-standing tradition at the Fair. We were disappointed we couldn’t schedule them this year, but hopefully, circumstances will be more favorable for future races,” Nunnally stated.
