Demolition Derby
June 28
2:00 p.m.
If you've never been to a demolition derby it is a fun, fast-paced event. It has been compared to legalized road rage! The goal is to immobilize your opponent's car by any means necessary within the rules of course, and yes, there are rules!
The competitors can have easily over 100 hours into building their car, hoping to last the 10-15 minutes each round takes. The ultimate goal is to be the last car moving.
It is a loud, hot, dirty and crazy event so please keep this in mind if you have small children.
Don't miss this smash'em, crash'em event!
Inspection will begin at 8:00 a.m. and smashing starts at 2:00 p.m.
Everyone participating in the derby will be awarded points. Currently points can be acquired at Esmond, Leeds Harvest Days and Balta.

Blind Joe
June 28
9:30 p.m.
The rowdy non-stop rebel soul that is Blind Joe is as infectious as a night of Jack Daniels and a few Hank Williams songs on the jukebox. Coming from nowhere to being one of the most successful solo musicians in the North Dakota/Minnesota area was not what he expected. Nevertheless, in just a few short years, Joe has shared the stage with numerous top local and regional acts, as well as national recording artists such as David Allan Coe, Craig Morgan, John Anderson, James Otto, Collin Ray, Buddy Guy, Bret Michaels of Poison, and many more.
After multiple cross country tours, playing to thousands of fans and an excellent run on Season 9 of NBC’s The Voice, Blind Joe is fast becoming a household name. Although if you asked him, he would humbly tell you, “I’m just bringin’ that good stuff back”..
With his quick witted sense of humor, original country music, and energetic stage presence, Blind Joe is tapping his way quickly into the hearts and minds of people all over the United States. And in case you’re wondering, YES, he really is blind :)

Women's Ranch Bronc Championship
June 28

The Women's Ranch Bronc Championships (WRBC) was founded in 2016 by The McElroy's when a group of young female athletes wanted to compete in the ranch bronc riding events but felt uncomfortable competing in male dominated open events.
The Women's Ranch Bronc Championships' main goal is to help female athletes of all ages and backgrounds reach their dreams as ranch bronc riders. The vision matured into what is now internationally known as The Trail to Cheyenne TourTM .
The Women's Ranch Bronc Championships strives to provide high-quality competition and to spotlight the talented female athletes of this sport for the established and in-coming rodeo fan base.

A Look at the Rides
"The grounds always look so nice, and everyone is so helpful"
"We wait for the fair every year. So much for our whole family to do and lots of it is free!"
"You all work so hard to bring a great event to Rugby."
"Thanks for another great fair. Our kids enjoyed everything even if there wasn't rides!"
 There's a new family-friendly roller-coaster this year called the Wacky Cowboy that's expected to be very popular. The coaster is 92-feet wide and has a height of 22-feet -- so it's great for all ages. It's full of LEDs, a fancy lighting package, and the colorful cars and colorful scenery. |

 the Martian Maze lets children climb ladders, cross bridges, slide down slides and walk through a rotating barrel. |
 On the fun slide, also known as the astroglide slide, or cascade slide, a rider walks up the stairs to get to the top of this slide along with a mat. The rider places the mat on the slide, sits on the mat, and slides down the ride. |
 The Zipper flips riders in multiple directions as each of the free spinning cages rounds each ends of the boom. |
 Bumper cars is a type of flat ride consisting of several small electrically powered cars which draw power from the floor and/or ceiling, and which are turned on and off remotely by an operator |
 The Up Up and Away Balloon Race is a fun, colorful ride for children and their parents. Children can spin their tubs as they race around the sky going up and down and twirling all around. |
 The frog hopper fairground ride is a kind of vertical ascent and bounced descent amusement ride and it provides a single restraint system for all riders. |
 The DIZZY DRAGON grins with delight as he 'opens up' to welcome kids and parents alike for a gentle ride. Four of these happy dragons turn in unison, carrying customers around and around. With their bright colors and amusing faces, these dragons are sure to please! |
 Chugging around a circular track, the RIO GRANDE TRAIN is the perfect rail trip for young patrons and their parents. |
