May 23, 1947: SD CAP to Hold First Air Races Since 1934

On this date in 1947, a South Dakota newspaper reported that the Civil Air Patrol was holding the first air races at the Sioux Falls airport since 1934 and sponsoring an air fair on May 25, 1947.

Below is an actual clipping of the article from, what I believe, is from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.  The clipping is courtesy of Mark Hess, Lt. Col, CAP of the Georgia Wing.
