The Glendon Agricultural Society says this year’s demolition derby and Mud Bogs were a success, drawing a crowd similar to last year around 3000 or so people.
“It is an affordable event for everybody, especially families. That’s one thing I liked about it,” says Society Treasurer Gwen Tarlson.
Fifteen drivers competed in the derby, which Tarlson says had some of the largest prize money up for grabs in Alberta. Each of the top three drivers in both the car and truck categories went home with a four figure sum while prize money for mud bogs ranged from between 100 to 500 dollars.
