After taking last year off, horse racing makes its comeback this weekend in Fort Pierre.
Mayor Gloria Hanson says she’s glad to see racing back in town.
Attending the horse races in Fort Pierre is a tradition for many area families.
Saturday and Sunday’s horse races will be held at the Stanley County Fairgrounds in Fort Pierre. Post time for the first race is 1pm CT. Parimutual betting will be available.
Last year was the first time in 70 years there were no horse races in Fort Pierre. The Verendrye Benevolent Association– the group that hosts the races– canceled them due to lack of funding and several other considerations.
