With the arrival of the La Plata County Fair last week came the
familiar smells of cotton candy, cheap, stuffed animals and janitor
sawdust for those upset tummies on the twirley rides. And if you
were around on Saturday, you may have smelled gasoline, anti-freeze
and gear oil as dozens of old junkers took to the dirt for a jolly,
old demolition derby. Car-crushing action kept the crowd roaring
throughout the high-octane event, which has become a staple of
rural and county fairs across the nation. And with a sold-out show
this year, hundereds of eager fans gladly paid for their seats,
although they only needed the edge.
