The Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society board members have announced some late additions to the 159th Drayton Fair from Aug. 7 to 9.
Two classes have been added to the local tractor and truck pull on Aug. 7.
Kyle Dechert of The Kids Diesel Shop in Elmira is sponsoring the “Work Stock” and “Run What Ya Brung” classes. Work Stock are modified, up to 700 horsepower trucks that are “streetable.”
In the second class, trucks are Pro Modified, Super Modified, Pro Street and Street Trucks.
Dechert said, “Trucks in the Run What Ya Brung category can run on diesel, alcohol or gas.
“There possibly could be trucks coming from the United States that really put on a show. It’s a case of bring your horsepower and hope you brought enough.”
Participants are reminded that weigh-in begins at 4pm on Aug. 7.
A late addition in Sunday afternoon’s Demolition Derby is rumoured to have a “political” connection. “Dippel’s Mystery Driver” will be behind the wheel at 2pm vying for $1,500 in prize money.
Fair-goers are reminded that breakfast is available on Sunday morning beginning at 7:30am with all proceeds going to the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society.
