It is the return of motorsports to the grandstands, with demolition derby at the Clark County Fair, and Wednesday is Senior Day at the fairgrounds, plus the famous Budweiser Clydesdales will be on display in their stalls

There is an old TV/radio campaign that fits for the rest of the Clark County Fair at the grandstands.
“We’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge!”
Oh yeah, it’s motorsport time at the Clark County Fair.
Wednesday also happens to be Prime of Your Life Day … in other words, Senior Day. Senior citizens (62 and older) receive a discount to the fair.
Fairgoers old and young will appreciate the Budweiser Clydesdales. They arrived earlier this week and they are on display in their stalls on Wednesday. (They will be on parade at the fairfrounds on Thursday.) The Clydesdales will be in their stalls for viewing from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office will hold K-9 demonstrations at 5:30 p.m.
The daily exhibits, including Ice Age Adventures, Curly the Camel and Friends, the Pirate’s Parrot Live Bird Show, and All Creatures Barnard Races s will be open, as well.
The rides at the carnival, courtesy Butler Amusements, open at noon.
The headliner at the grandstand will be the return of motorsports. The grandstands hosted concerts and then bull riding the first five days of the fair. It’s all about engines and crashes and races and trucks the rest of the way.
Oh, and don’t worry about that old TV commercial, promising to sell you a seat. Admission to the motorsports events come with a ticket to the fair.
On Wednesday, there are two performances of Demolition Derby, the first at 2 p.m. and the second at 7 p.m. Oh, and Monster Truck Rides are available, too.
