Description

The area of Kansas City that now comprises the Roanoke and Valentine neighborhoods was once the site of the Kansas City Interstate Fair. The fair contained all the usual exhibits and attractions but its primary draw was racing. Spectators enjoyed bicycle and horse races and bicycle versus horse races around a half-mile track. In 1884, "Roman-style horse-drawn chariots were pitted against one another."
