KALISPELL, Mont. - Feb. 22, 2011 - In the Flathead, horse racing organizers are trying to hammer out a deal for this year with the Northwest Montana Fair Board. The Kalispell Race Meet wants to use fair equipment like tractors for the track. The fair used to partially fund horse racing but stopped after 2006. A private group brought it back last year and didn’t use any fair money. Tuesday, however, the Kalispell Race Meet asked the fair manager and the county commissioners to support racing by allowing use of their equipment. “We’re going to look at item by item, line by line and [if it’s] something we can contribute to the racing program to make it successful. If we do so, how does that affect our other programs that we have to support?” explains Northwest Montana Fair Manager Mark Campbell.
