Rainy weather has put a bit of a damper on the turnout at the 2009 Hebron Harvest Fair, but Sunday’s forecast looks a bit drier. So, this is your last chance to enjoy all that this traditional country fair offers – whether it’s fried dough or rides that make your head spin or oohing and ahhing over cute little bunnies… or shaking a leg to some country tunes… there’s plenty of fun to make the $10 admission price well worth it. Plus, your ticket helps the Lions Club raise money for charity.
The fun takes place at the Hebron Lions Fairgrounds on Route 85 in Hebron, off of Route 66.

And here are some photos from my visit to the fair on a soggy Friday night – which included my first time attending a demolition derby.

Among the more popular events at the Hebron Harvest Fair are the demolition derbies on Thursday and Friday nights. Friday's was a "figure 8" race with $1,000 going to the winner and trophies to others, donated by Andover Auto Parts, followed by a full-contact, last car standing contest for $500 and bragging rights.
