I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

Race to a pile of 50-pound feed sacks. Leap from the wagon bed and load two on the wagon. Then navigate through cones around the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds horse arena. Unload the feed sacks, then bolt to the finish line. The first wagon driver to hoist his cowboy hat atop a pole wins.
