Hille's band provided music and the event featured stock car and stripped motorcycle races, a free for all running race, and a 15 mile stripped car race. Friday's program opened with a ball game Bode vs Pocahontas, while Saturday showcased Rolfe against Laurens with Lynch overpowering Rolfe on the mound.
