Hubs and I went to watch the Demos.... weren't ever expecting to witness what we didš¤¦āāļø The first 2 minutes of each heat were enjoyable... like any other derby... after the first few minutes it became boring and almost pointless and unbearable to even watch.

I thought a small town fair might be a little more family friendly than the State Fair to take my kids but...

Good selection of food vendors, the people working the rides were friendly and not "creepy", as can sometimes occur with fairs.
