Big Rigs Pulling Series & Semi Truck Pull Saturday, June 29th

Big Butler Fair | Truck Pull

Saturdays at the Big Butler Fair have come to be known as “Trucker’s Day” as the huge semi trucks come to town. But before the 7:00pm show that is strictly for the semi trucks, the strong running local 4x4 trucks get their chance to hook to the sled. In the afternoon, the Open 2.6 diesel 4x4 Trucks as well as the Pro Street GAS 4x4 trucks will pull in front of the grandstand. While these trucks are still mostly highway legal, the will astound with their awesome power pulling action.

And then in the evening the big, big trucks come out to play at the Big Butler Fair. One class is for the local over-the-road driver to see what his truck will do against other similar machines. The next division will bring the famed Pennsylvania Posse to the track with their highly modified single charger semi trucks. And the culmination of the evening will be an appearance by the world renowned Big Rigs Semi Trucks with multiple turbo-chargers and upwards of 4000 horses under the hood.

Giant Auto Demolition Derby Monday, July 1st

Big Butler Fair | Auto Demolition Derby

As the green flag signals the start, the spontaneous roar of missing, un-mufflered, dilapidated automobiles, resembling the freeway rush hour and herds of stampeding elephants. The "junker's" radiators start gushing steam geysers, blown tires belch bits of burning, stinking rubber and fenders buckle under the constant banging of bumper-to-bumper collisions. Drivers circle in a frenzy and rip at hapless victims less able to maneuver. 

Demolition Derby Championships start at 7:00pm

In the rush, cars overturn, some completely on their roofs. As the merciless competition dwindles, the tactics become more dramatic. The winners of these contests possess the attributes of a true showman, a bravado, recklessness, nonchalance and insanity.
