Shaner McDermith of Grandstand Attractions Inc. has
been hired to promote and conduct the finale of this year’s
grandstand events. McDermith, a second-generation promoter, has
increased the prize money paid to the feature winner from $500 to

in the feature event. According to the fair officials, entries are
still open for both the full-size and compact divisions.

this event are on sale at the fair office. General admission tickets
will go on sale the day of the derby.
