Boundary Auto Wars
With the Lloyd Ex and Vermilion Fair in the rearview, we recommend checking out the Boundary Auto Wars Demolition Derby on Saturday, Aug. 2. The carnage kicks off at 9 a.m. with a heavy truck show before the demolition derby at noon. Tickets are $20 and kids under 12 get in for free.
The Ultimate Motorhead Swap Meet will coincide with the carnage from 9 a.m. to noon. Anyone seeking a hard-to-find part or a vintage treasure has the perfect opportunity at the various tables. Don’t miss your chance to buy, sell or trade all things automotive.
The event also features a raffle with three great prizes, including a 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend, a 2025 Polaris Ranger FS 570 and a 3,200 watt generator. Raffle tickets are $100 and only 3,000 are being printed.
