The Demo Derby is a fan favorite and sells out every year. This year's large car winner bags $4000, up from $1500 in 2019. The money is an effort to increase the number of actual derby competitors, which has fallen off significantly over the years, unlike the heat races.
Had a great time with Jenifer Casey who's putting on the Cowgirl Throw Down Saturday August 27th at the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo 10 a.m. in the rodeo arena.
Classic rock band Foreigner is set to play the Benton Franklin Fair Thursday night August 25th. And one lucky local High School Choir will get to perform with the band!!
