We've seen better demo's in the past, but this year we got to see a car catch on fire and the Vernon Township Volunteer Fire Department was on hand to pull the guy to safety. It was a scary moment, but all turned out for the best.
The driver was on fire as he was pulled from his wrecked car, but the quick thinking of the firemen, he was safe before he received any burns. It was a scary moment for the driver, I'm sure, but even more scary for the little ones in the crowd:
The stands were packed with hundreds of cheering fans who enjoyed the competition:
The mini cars were the best. The first class that really didn't have any rules, it was just run around and ram into each other. There was only one van that showed up, so there wasn't a class for them. I think I will attempt to purchase a junk van and possibly enter the contest next year! The third class had had about 18 cars entered, so it was a tad crowded.
On Wednesday night we headed back to the fair in the afternoon. We finally got to view almost all the buildings, signed up for a few give aways (I'm still waiting on my call to tell me I'm a winner of something!) The entertainment for Wednesday evening was the popular truck and tractor pull. There was only one Ford entry in the 4-wheel drive division, but...the Ford held tough and claimed a first place! Woot!!
In the tractor divisions, the big red Internationals held off the green John Deere's to claim first place! Woot! Woot!
Patrick thought he had the best seat in the house:
The Jackson County Fair Queen and her court sat right in front of him after they were introduced. Sadly they were there only a short time as their duties for the evening took them elsewhere at the fair grounds.
Well, Patrick thought the pulls was the best show during the fair...for the first 45 minutes anyway! ;-)
