4-H fair at the Government School
32. 4-H fair at the Government School, ca. 1930s
(BIA, Wind River Agency)
 They
used to have a great big fair. Fairs are what they used to have.
They never had pow-wows in them days. They used to have big fairs.
They used to have big gatherings for the Arapahoe and Shoshones.
They have garden fairs. They had like wheat and hay and gardens,
boy they used to raise good gardens! I was in 4-H at that time,
too, myself. That whole school area use to be plumb full of people
because that was their biggest day of their life, cause they held
it in the gym there. That had a platform on there and the people
were out there and they used to eat and they had a barbecue and
had ice cream social and things like that. (Suzette Wagon)
