[email protected] The Putnam County Fair welcomes back

the classics as well as new attractions in its 2013 edi-tion. The staples of the fair, such as the Demolition Derby, 4-H and live music, will all return in full force. However, in addition to the classics, there are a variety

of new and improved activities and entertainment.We try and change up our entertainment every year

and add some new things and improve on last years, saidPutnam County Fair President Don Verhoff. We keep themain stays like the demolition derby but we also want toadd more variety.

Something new to the fair this year will be the KachungaAlligator Show.The most exciting new thing we have this year is the

alligator show. This guy actually wrestles alligators and hewill be right here in Putnam County, said Verhoff. I like tosay when the alligators jaws open, yours will drop.

Hailing from Floridas swamps, the alligator wrestlerknow as Kachunga, will be facing off against the 300-pound reptiles June 25-29.

Completely new and original to the fair this year will begolf cart pull offs.

It is something new and exciting and just plain differ-ent, said Verhoff. The pull offs will be held on Thursdayand all local entries are welcome.

The fair has made additions to entertainment at theArches with activities known as Action at the Arches.Included in the beefed up additions will be W.A.R.Wrestling.

We are calling it Arch Madness and people of all agesget pumped for that event, said Verhoff.

Antique farm equipment will also be a feature of the fairthis year. The farm show will now feature a wider range of farm equipment.

This stuff will be truly antiques. This is stuff you do notsee out in the fields anymore, said Verhoff.

In an effort to reach a wider range of people and youth,the fair will be featuring a dance competition know as theDance Spectacular. This was featured at last years fair,however, the competition is being expanded.

It is bigger and better than last year. We will have all thedance clubs in the area put on a show, said Verhoff. Thisis a great way to get even more youth involved. You maynot be into 4-H but perhaps you like dancing.

Completely new to the fair this year will also be a classon home brewing.

It is no secret Putnam County likes their beer and it isnta bad thing, said Verhoff.

The class will feature lessons on what is involved in theart of home brewing and the different types of beer that gointo home brewing.

Another new class featured will be Duct Tape Creations.The class will be followed by a competition where the cre-ations will be judged.

We really wanted to appeal to peoples creativity, said

New attractions promised at 2013 Putnam Co. Fair

Verhoff.A staple of the fair are the fireworks and this year

a new company has been brought in for improve-ments. The fireworks event will be called Fire inthe Sky: Fun in the Air, After Dark Style.

The fair will feature many other activities, oldand new that appeal to all ages and backgrounds.

The idea of the fair is to reach as many peopleas possible, said Verhoff. We want to have enoughvariety in order to reach every corner of PutnamCounty. That way we can all come together to learnand have fun.

The fair will bring back old favorites with theirgrandstand events.

Kicking off the Grandstand Event schedule willbe a Veterans Tribute at 6:30 p.m. on June 24. Theveterans memorial service will honor those who

have served the country and acknowledge those whohave built the community. There will be free admis-sion into the fair that day for all veterans and seniorcitizens aged 62 and over.

Immediately following will be the coronation of the Junior Fair King and Queen at 7 p.m.

At 7:15 p.m., the annual Marching BandSpectacular will step off on the grandstand track.The event features the countys local marchingbands as they put on their best routine.

The Marching Band Spectacular is great becauseit showcases some of the talent we have here in ourcounty, said Verhoff.

The action will continue the following night at 6p.m. with harness racing, which will continue at 6p.m. on Wednesday.

The grandstand events will take Thursday off andcome back in full force Friday with Figure 8 racingas well as truck and lawnmower derbies at 7 p.m.

Completely new and original to the fair this yearwill be golf cart pull-offs.

It is something new and exciting and just plaindifferent, said Verhoff.

The pull-offs will be held on Thursday and alllocal entries are welcome.

The grandstand will see racing on a smaller scaleSaturday with the lawn mower races at 2 p.m.

Later that night at 7 p.m., will be the fan favorite-Car Demo Derby.

That is one of our most popular events, said

Verhoff. Everybody loves to come out and watchthose cars smash and crunch into each other.The grandstand events will be capped off with

a free fireworks display at 11 p.m. on Saturday.This year a new company has been brought in forimprovements. The fireworks event will be calledFire in the Sky: Fun in the Air, After Dark Style.

Verhoff is excited for all the fair events and hopesthey appeal to a wide range of people.

There is something for everyone here, saidVerhoff. Variety at Its Best characterizes thecounty fair. The activities and entertainment are asdiverse as the profile of Fair patrons.
