Join in what will surely prove to be the most smashing event of the Sanpete County Fair on Friday, Aug. 22, in the arena at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds as the annual Demolition Derby gets underway.

The action will begin at 7 p.m. that evening in the fairgrounds arena, 700 N. 100 East, Manti. Tickets are $16 for grandstand seating and $11 for general admission (kids 2 and younger are free). Tickets can be purchased online at sanpetecountyfair.net.

This bold tradition continues with local drivers competing with those from out of the area for thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. If you’re a red-blooded American, you won’t want to miss out on this action. The entire family can enjoy this big event of suspense and excitement while cheering for their favorite drivers. This nail-biting, breath-stealing, action-filled night is sure to be big, bad and fast!

The top drivers in each full-size car heat will compete during the main event. Those who haven’t made it into the main event will have one final opportunity to earn their way in during the grudge match.

Drivers must follow rules found online at the Sanpete County Fair website at sanpetecountyfair.net and sign a waiver prior to the event. Those under 18 must have parental consent. There is a $50 fee to enter.
