     If you like louder and more entertaining things, the tractor pull is great for you. Tractor pulling is to determine the strongest tractor and best driver. A winner is determined by which tractor can pull a heavy sled along a 35 foot wide, 300 foot long track the furthest. You might need to bring some earplugs just in case it’s too loud.

     The Marion County Fair also has demolition derbies. These derbies are perfect to watch if you are a more reckless person, or even if you just like derby cars. Derbies consist of people ramming their cars into each other. However, the windows are all taken out to make the event safer. To win the derby, your car has to be the last car running, while everyone else’s is not.
