Back by popular demand for 2018 is the Harlan Days Demo Derby Soccer arena event. If you missed it last year, it’s basically soccer, but with demolition derby cars and a 6 foot soccer ball! And the goalies are mini-excavators. Three cars on each team try to score goals while also avoiding getting smashed up. And while the “goal” is to score goals, there was some shenanigans by goalies and drivers alike. The best part is, you can enter a car or come watch from the stands. Saturday August 4th in the outdoor arena at 7:30pm. Tickets are just $5. Kids 5 and under are free. Want to participate in the demo derby soccer event and have your shot at 1st or 2nd place prizes? It’s just $25 for car and driver entry. Crew pit passes are $10. Sign up starts at 5pm, but make sure to download this demo derby soccer flyer then contact Neil Koch: nkoch1976@gmail.com or Alex Zurbrugg: 260-385-5699 for complete rules and safety guidelines....
