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!
