FORT PIERRE 8TH ANNUAL TRADER DAYS & TURKEY RACES
Here is what AI says about Fort Pierre’s Trader Days and I’ve added a little research:
Fort Pierre, South Dakota, held its first annual Trader Days event on August 16–18, 2018. [1]
The celebration was created by the city and the Fort Pierre Chamber of Commerce to highlight the community’s rich history as a historic trading hub. It has since become a popular annual summer event featuring food trucks, a barbecue competition, and family activities.
The town’s Turkey Racing tradition originally started in nearby Pukwana, SD, before finding its permanent home in Fort Pierre in 1980. However, turkey races were discontinued during the 90s and brought back as part of the Trader Days in August 2022.
