2021 Fair

2021 Logan County Fair Lincoln Daily News July/August 2021 Page 349 T he final event in front of the grand stand at the 2021 Logan County Fair was the Sunday afternoon Demolition Derby. In 2019, the turn out for the derby was very light, but this year it was huge. The day began with the power wheels for kids ages three through nine. There were 20 cars provided by Shaner Promotions for the event. A few other local children brought their own wheels for the event. The twenty cars provided had drivers decided by ticket drawing. As the kids came down to claim their cars, the 20th car left was a pink one. Shaner provides the helmets for the kids to wear, and of course, the helmet was also pink. The young male winner of the last ride protested slightly that he was going to be put in a pink car and a pink helmet, but he did not object enough to give away his ride. The youngsters were permitted about 10 minutes of crash and bang time, then they drove their wheels to the end of the track to be loaded into the back of a trailer. The drive itself seemed to be something close to a race as the kids rushed to get to the loading zone to return their helmets and wheels to the promoter.
