Red Willow County’s 2017 county fair will host a demolition derby on Thursday, July 20, on the fairgrounds in McCook. The pits open at 4 p.m., followied by heats in limited weld and ‘90’s and newer divisions. New this year will be a “Power Wheels” division for kids 4-10 years old. Promoter Sam Jaeger said little drivers will aim for balloons taped to each other’s vehicle. “When all their balloons are popped, they’re out,” Sam said. Big drivers will follow “Crash Fest Express” rules, which makes it easier for drivers to build cars eligible at derbies also in North Platte, Eustis, Beaver City and Stockville. For more information on the derby, contact Sam at (308) 883-1177, or the fair board office at (308) 345-4650.
