Naveah Gerdes, 11, daughter of Justin Gerdes and Amy Roberts of Pottersville, flies around on the classic carnival ride, The Swing, on Friday at the Heart of the Ozarks Fair in West Plains. The fair concluded Saturday with a demolition derby after having Thursday’s truck pull and Friday’s truck and tractor pull canceled due to excessively muddy conditions. Fairgoers were admitted at half price both of those days. Not to leave fans disappointed, the promoters behind the events, Southern Crunch and Southern Missouri Truck & Tractor Pulling Association, respectively, have scheduled a demolition derby and truck pull for late July. The truck pull will be held at 7:30 p.m. July 25 and the derby at 7 p.m. July 26, both at the fairgrounds. Admission is $10 for attendees 13 and older, $5 for ages 6 to 12 and free for younger children. Watch the June 21 issue of the West Plains Daily Quill for the annual Fair Book.
