Demo Derby adds to grandstand attractions


A demolition derby with many cars will be the grandstand entertainment on Saturday, July 24, at 6 p.m., at the Humboldt County Fair.

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.
“There will be a lot of cars in the demo derby. It should be a tremendous show. Demo derbies are becoming very popular,” Fair Board President Jeff Haselhuhn said.
The Humboldt County Fair Board has purchased a number of concrete barriers to secure the large area that will be used for the demo derby in front of the grandstand.
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.
Many other events at the fair are free of charge.
