• About 50 pre-loved cars will battle in the popular demolition derby tonight at 7 p.m.
• Bigfoot headlines the monster truck show Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m.
• Check out the antiques sale in the livestock barn. Fewer and fewer animals in the fair means organizers have had to come up with more creative ways of filling the barn.
