BUSINESSES/ORGANIZATIONS CAN SPONSOR AND DRIVE IN THE DEMOLITION DERBY

YOU COULD WIN $1,000 FOR YOUR FAVORITE CHARITY

For the first time, the Nevada County Fair is providing organizations and businesses the opportunity to sponsor and drive a car in the Fair’s popular Demolition Derby, while at the same time raising money for a favorite charity or service organization.

Organizations and businesses can purchase a car for $500 and the Fair will provide a Derby car to use in the Demolition Derby. The organization can choose to provide its own driver or the Fair will provide a driver for the car. Additionally, the car can be picked up on August 1 to customize the car or it can be left at the Fair, where it will have a number painted on it.

The sponsored Derby cars will participate in their own event at the Demolition Derby, held on Sunday, August 10, at 7 pm in the Arena. The last of the sponsored cars moving will receive $1,000 towards the charity or service organization of their choice.

There are only a limited number of cars available, so call the Fair Office at
(530) 273-6217 to reserve your car, and obtain a list of rules and all the necessary forms.

I grew up in Grass Valley and loved attending the fair every year with my family. My sister and I always entered the fair competitions, especially the floral arrangements and baking. One year I won first place for brownies - that was a big thrill! Even though I live in Sacramento now, I still come to the fair every year with my husband and children. We all enjoy it so much!
