After a livestock only fair in 2020, the 2021 Humboldt County Fair is back with a full line-up of entertainment.
It’s been many years since the fair has had a Demolition Derby, but the 2021 Humboldt County Fair (July 20-26) marks the return of a Demolition Derby on Saturday evening, July 24, at 6 p.m.
Fair Board President Jeff Haselhuhn said a demolition derby promoter has added the Humboldt County Fair date as one of their stops.
Outlaws Tractor/Pickup Pull will take place on Friday night, July 23, at 7 p.m.
“It should be a good show. They’ll bring some noise and smoke. The local pickup pull keeps getting bigger and bigger,” Haselhuhn said.
The popular Tough Truck competition will take place on Sunday evening, July 25, at 7 p.m.
The Tractor/Pickup Pull, Demo Derby and Tough Truck are the only grandstand events where admission is charged. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for ages 5-12 with those under five admitted free.
One way to help support the fair and save on ticket costs is to become a Fair Booster. A Family Pak is $100 with a value of $126 and includes eight events tickets. A Reserve Champion Pak is $250 with a total value of $351 and includes 20 events tickets. A Grand Champion Pak is $500 with a total value of $630 and includes 40 events tickets.
Grandstand sponsorships are available for $1,000.
