Sunset at the midway
The South Mountain Fair was busy on Fri., Aug. 17, following the 30th anniversary of the demolition derby as fairgoers took to the midway. The sun sets on the second day of the fair as the ride, the Paratrooper, takes riders on a view of the fairgrounds. Along with a plethora of rides there were also games to test one’s skills out, all weekend, with a chance to win big stuffed toys. Moore photo

Two cars ram into each other during the demolition derby on Fri., Aug. 17, at the South Mountain Fair. These four cylinder cars were loud and put on quite a show for the large crowd on hand. There were 16 entrants in this year’s derby and they didn’t disappoint. Moore photos
