Blackfoot is also home of the Eastern Idaho State Fair which attracts thousands of visitors during the first week of September. Along with its base of agricultural and commercial exhibits comes a fascinating variety of entertaining night shows, horse races and a carnival. The county seat of Bingham County, Blackfoot is also the agricultural center of east Idaho's important potato industry.
