Last night I went to my very first Demolition Derby at the Juab County Fair. Plus it was only my second time to attend a fair. I know when I was really young I went to one and won a stuffed snake. But I was from a big city so country life was not something I really experienced growing up.
AJ, AMM, and I went meeting up with AE and her husband. The adventure started off with AJ accidentally locking her car keys in the trunk. It was early yet and the Juab County Police Department was controlling the parking. She asked one of the officers and he said yes he could help us out (love small town politeness). So he came over and helped us but the car was not cooperating and soon another police officer stops by and than another. Soon we had five hanging around the car helping (yes, the how many joke was mentioned). In the end they rescued the day. During the derby they were giving all the credit to the Fire Department last night for public safety, but it was the Police we would like to thank.
After the key incident we went and look at two of the exhibits- Arts/Food and small farm animals I guess you would call it (chickens, rabbits, etc). When the exhibits closed we listened to the Juab County American Idol show and then the action started.
I have to say I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the derby. It really is not my thing but I enjoyed it enough I will probably make it an annual event. Though most of the cars I picked never made it to the next round it was a good race. I enjoyed the Powder Puff, Grunge, and the Championship rounds the best. Unfortunately (which sounds bad to say) no cars caught on fire. I just heard that they do occasionally at derbies that I wanted to see it. I guess I have become a true Utahan to enjoy an event like demolition derby.
