Demolition Derby
June
2:00 p.m.
If you’ve never been to a demolition derby, you’re in for a fun, fast-paced thrill! Often compared to legalized road rage, a demolition derby is all about strategy and survival. The goal is simple: immobilize your opponent’s car—by any means necessary (within the rules… and yes, there are rules!).
Competitors often put 100+ hours into building their cars, all for a chance to survive 10–15 intense minutes per round. The ultimate objective? Be the last car still moving.
Demolition derbies are loud, hot, dirty, and absolutely wild, so please keep that in mind if you’re bringing small children.
Don’t miss this smash ’em, crash ’em event—you won’t forget it! 💥🚗
Inspection will begin at 8:00 a.m. and smashing starts at 2:00 p.m.
Everyone participating in the derby will be awarded points. Currently points can be acquired at Esmond, Leeds Harvest Days and Balta.
An Awards Banquet will be held at the end of the season.
Call Kyle Arends for more information.

Midway West Amusements
June 27 - 30
pm
We are happy to welcome Midway West Amusements to the Fair. They will be the first Carnival to make their mark on the new East Land.
Nathan and Michelle Jensen are proud to be a family owned and operated business. There is always a owner on site, making sure the attractions run safety and smoothly. It gives our customers assurance and peace of mind to know that issues that may arise will be dealt with immediately by the owner.
Nathan has worked in every aspect of the carnival business: games, food, rides, manager and maintenance for over 30 years. Michelle was born in the carnival business and spent her summer vacations working for her parents carnival games.
This is truly a dream come true for two people (and their 6 children) that appreciate and know the carnival business. It gives our customers assurance and peace of mind to know that issues that may arise will be dealt with immediately by the owner.
At a Midway West Amusements carnival, you will always find an atmosphere of "serious fun". We are serious about cleanliness, we're serious about a family atmosphere, we're serious about having fun and we're serious about your complete satisfaction and our continued relationship.

A Look at the Rides
"The grounds always look so nice, and everyone is so helpful"
"We wait for the fair every year. So much for our whole family to do and lots of it is free!"
"You all work so hard to bring a great event to Rugby."
"Thanks for another great fair. Our kids enjoyed everything even if there wasn't rides!"
 There's a new family-friendly roller-coaster this year called the Wacky Cowboy that's expected to be very popular. The coaster is 92-feet wide and has a height of 22-feet -- so it's great for all ages. It's full of LEDs, a fancy lighting package, and the colorful cars and colorful scenery. |
|---|
 the Martian Maze lets children climb ladders, cross bridges, slide down slides and walk through a rotating barrel. |
 On the fun slide, also known as the astroglide slide, or cascade slide, a rider walks up the stairs to get to the top of this slide along with a mat. The rider places the mat on the slide, sits on the mat, and slides down the ride. |
 The Zipper flips riders in multiple directions as each of the free spinning cages rounds each ends of the boom. |
 Bumper cars is a type of flat ride consisting of several small electrically powered cars which draw power from the floor and/or ceiling, and which are turned on and off remotely by an operator |
 The Up Up and Away Balloon Race is a fun, colorful ride for children and their parents. Children can spin their tubs as they race around the sky going up and down and twirling all around. |
 The frog hopper fairground ride is a kind of vertical ascent and bounced descent amusement ride and it provides a single restraint system for all riders. |
 The DIZZY DRAGON grins with delight as he 'opens up' to welcome kids and parents alike for a gentle ride. Four of these happy dragons turn in unison, carrying customers around and around. With their bright colors and amusing faces, these dragons are sure to please! |
 Chugging around a circular track, the RIO GRANDE TRAIN is the perfect rail trip for young patrons and their parents. |
