One of the biggest draws of the Fair is the demolition derby, which takes place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 5 and 6, at 6:30 p.m. During this event, drivers will turn full-size cars into compact cars. There is a separate admission fee for this event – $7 for adults and $6 for children 2 to 12.

In addition to the demolition derby, there will also be many 4-H shows and exhibits, including horses, goats, oxen, sheep, llamas/alpacas and more.

Local band Jeff Dearborn and the Contoocook Blues Society will perform again this year, taking the stage Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. and Monday from noon to 5 p.m.
