Every year in November, one farmer or business person from each county is selected to receive the honor of Minidoka County and Cassia County Farmer or Businessman of the Year. Recipients are featured in a special program and dinner in their honor.

The Burley Lions Spudman Triathlon is an event operated by the Burley Lions club and has become one of the Mini-Cassia's largest events. The Spudman Triathlon is always held the last Saturday in July so it's an event to plan on! Check out the on-line registration, rules and important information on: http://burleylions.org website.
