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.
Thursday - 4:00 - 11:00 p.m.
Friday - 4:00 - 11;00 p.m.
Saturday - Noon - 11:00 p.m.
