The Delaware County Fair kicks off its 163rd year next week at the fairgrounds, with events ranging from a demolition derby to cat and dog shows.
The 4-H portion of the fair has events scheduled from July 14-22, while the Midway events are scheduled from July 18-25. The carnival opens on July 20.
Although the fair usually has a hog wrestling event, the fair board voted to cancel it after an online petition. It has been replaced with the monster truck show. According to the Associated Press, the board is concerned about money due to the profits normally received through the hog wrestling event and the $12,000 cost of the monster truck show.
The monster truck show starts at 7 p.m. July 24 and costs $10.
