Spokane’s Wild 1926 Bike & Log Events | Spokane News

In 1976, Coors Distributing shocked Spokane with a 27,000-square-foot warehouse, bringing their legendary, hard-to-get beer to town—thanks to new brewing power in Colorado. Meanwhile, back in 1926, Spokane hosted a wild bicycle festival at Coeur d’Alene Park, complete with safety demos, a parade, and a bizarre plank-balancing contest where the winner snagged a gold watch.

From beer to bizarre competitions, Spokane’s quirky history proves community spirit and wild contests have always been part of the story.
