Demolition Derby

June 27         2:00 p.m.

​

A demolition derby is a high-energy motorsport event where drivers intentionally crash their vehicles into one another in an enclosed arena. The excitement comes from a mix of strategy, durability, and sheer chaos.

​

What Happens at a Demolition Derby?

  • Drivers compete in specially prepared cars, often reinforced for safety and impact.

  • The main goal is to disable other vehicles while keeping your own car running.

  • Rounds usually last 10–15 minutes, ending when only one car is still operational.

  • Although it looks like pure mayhem, there are rules—for example, drivers often can’t hit certain areas like the driver’s door.

  • ​

What Makes It Unique?

  • Preparation is intense: Many competitors spend 100+ hours modifying and reinforcing their cars.

  • Strategy matters: It’s not just crashing randomly—drivers aim for weak spots and avoid getting stuck.

  • Extreme environment: Expect loud engines, crunching metal, heat, dust, and debris.

  • ​

What to Expect as a Spectator

  • It’s fast-paced and unpredictable, often compared to “controlled chaos.”

  • The atmosphere is exciting but rough—ear protection is recommended.

  • Because of the noise and intensity, it may not be ideal for very young children.

  • ​

Why People Love It

Fans enjoy demolition derbies for the adrenaline, spectacle, and raw competition. It’s one of the few sports where destruction is the goal—and survival is the victory.

If you go, be ready for a loud, wild, and unforgettable experience—it really is a “smash ’em, crash ’em” kind of event!

​

​

Inspection will begin at 9:00 a.m. and smashing starts at 2:00 p.m.​

 

Everyone participating in the derby will be awarded points in the 701 Derby Association.

                Event           2:00 p.m.

 

Mutton Busting Ride Description:

 

Hold on tight and get ready for some woolly fun!

 

Mutton Busting is a thrilling event just for kids, where brave young riders climb aboard a running sheep and try to hang on as long as they can.

 

With plenty of laughs, cheers from the crowd, and soft landings, it’s all about having fun and showing off a little cowboy or cowgirl spirit.

​

Ranch Rodeo Description:

 

A Ranch Rodeo at the Pierce County Fair is a fast-paced, team-based competition that showcases real-life skills used on working cattle ranches. Unlike traditional rodeos that focus on individual events, ranch rodeos emphasize teamwork, communication, and practical ranch tasks.

 

Teams—usually made up of 4 to 6 cowboys or cowgirls—compete in events that mirror everyday ranch work. These may include:

  • Team Branding – Roping and safely “branding” a calf as quickly and accurately as possible

  • Mugging – A timed team event where a wild yearling or steer is roped and then physically restrained ("mugged") on the ground to have its legs tied

  • Trailer Relay - A fast-paced, four-person team event where members race to unload saddled horses from a trailer, complete a lap around the arena, and reload them

  • Trailer Loading – Moving cattle into a trailer efficiently using coordinated teamwork

  • Wild Cow Milking – A crowd favorite where teams attempt to rope, hold, and milk a cow

 

The Ranch Rodeo highlights the grit, skill, and tradition of ranch life while providing exciting entertainment for fairgoers. It’s a unique blend of authentic agricultural practice and competitive sport, celebrating the heritage of the American West.

 

Perfect for families and rodeo fans alike, the Ranch Rodeo is one of the most engaging and action-packed events at the fair.
