The Simplot Games is a 23 year tradition with the J.R. Simplot
Company and the city of Pocatello. It's a meet run almost entirely
by volunteers who dress up, proud to be part of the special event
and to share their community with others. The Simplot Games have
a warm atmosphere. While there is the competition all right, there
is also a subtle air of innocence where kids can just compete and
enjoy the exeperience. In the middle of the games time is taken
to put the competition in perspective. Athletes march in tribute
to the USA, their state and give ceremony to their participation
in the games. It's really a nice meet!
