Heading the program each day is the massive "Grand Pageant of the West" parade. This procession pro-cession is composed of Fort Hall Indians in full ceremonial regalia, re-galia, stage coaches and old prairie prair-ie immigrant schooners associated with stirring days of early Wood river history, contingents of trappers, trap-pers, old prospectors and pack trains, and all of the competing cowboys and cowgirls. In addition to the four main attractions of calf roping, professional prof-essional bronc riding, bulldogging and wild brahma bull riding, there will be a cam ol moo, uw..., a Pony Express race which in some measure brings back the davs of the original pony express, relav races for men and women, and the Sun Valley Derby.
