Trucks coming to Calumet County Fair for first time
For the first time ever, The All Star Monster Truck Tour smashes into The Calumet County Fair for two huge shows on Sunday, Sept. 3 and Monday, Sept. 4. It’s the big boys with the big toys, straight from television and coming to the Calumet County Fair. Spectators are scheduled to see 2015 Midwest Series champion Over Bored take on TV superstar and world finalist competitor Barbarian and the 3D Alligator Monster Truck Tailgator. People can see these 10,000-pound All Star Monster Trucks battle it out in a best trick competition, full throttle racing, and a no rules, no holds barred freestyle throwdown. They also will see the wild antics of Bobby Cox, The Hot Rod Clown. “This is a brand new show from our premier series, nothing like anything that’s even been seen before,” said Bryan Wagner, president of All Star Motorsport Productions. “These are some of the best drivers in the world, including drivers that have competed at and won on national television and in stadiums all across the United States and Canada.” Fans can come early and meet the drivers up close and personal in the Pre Show Meet & Greet Session, get all of the latest gear and get it signed by their favorite All Star driver. Grandstand gates open at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 4 with the Meet & Greet session from 5:30 to 6:30 and showtime at 7 p.m. On Monday, Sept. 4 grandstand gates open at 12:30 p.m., with the Meet & Greet from 12:30 to 1:30 and the dirt flies at 2 p.m. This event is rain or shine and each show lasts approximately 90 minutes.
