The Tioga County Fair returned this year with all of the action packed entertainment that fairgoers expect to see. The fair board worked to bring two nights of exciting demolition derby action, the Painted Pony Championship Rodeo, the Dash for Cash and the ATV and Dirt Bike Rodeo, Agricultural displays, an Arts & Crafts Barn, The Clover Café, Sire Stakes Racing, and much more!
The #63 car was raffled off Friday before the derby, with Matt Rhodes holding the winning ticket! He also joined the action Friday night, offering respect to the “Junkyard Jet”, Doug Worthing. Photo credit: Wendy Post
The carnival rides, included in this year’s $15 gate pass, were enjoyed by all as well as the grandstand attractions. The fair concludes on Saturday, with carnival rides, 4H activities, and much more!

Getting the Rudin car ready to run on Wednesday. According to Fritz Rudin, the best cars to run are either a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Many of the cars can be found on the Marketplace around derby time, and 40-plus hours can be anticipated to get a car ready and running for the derby, oftentimes swapping engines out as well.
