๐ New Kid-Friendly Events at the Jackson County Blue Ribbon Fair! ๐
Weโre excited to announce 2 new childrenโs events coming this year:

Pedal Tractor Pull
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Children will hop on a pedal-powered mini tractor and try to pull a weighted sled as far as they can. As the sled moves, friction builds, making it harder to pull, soโฆโฆ.longer pulls require strength, stamina and good technique. Participants will be divided into age groups so kids compete against peers.

Power Wheels Demolition Derby
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
This fun spin on the classic demolition derby uses toy-sized or scaled Power Wheels vehicles (or similar small cars) and a safe area where kidsโ cars crash, bam, and compete. Each car will have inflated balloons attached to it and the goal is to be the last vehicle with at least one inflated balloon.
