Join us for the Power Wheels Derby

This year Monday, Aug. 31, 2026 we are featuring two age groups: 3–5 and 6–8 years old. Participants must wear helmets and closed-toe shoes, and each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Vehicles must meet specific requirements, including remaining stock with no modifications, secure doors, and original height.

Competitors will attach two balloons to their vehicles and aim to pop or dislodge others’ balloons in a derby-style format. The event will take place at the Horse Ring (Derby Track) with check-in at least 60 minutes prior to the start.

The entry fee is $12, which includes fair admission for the day. All participants will receive a ribbon, with trophies awarded to winners. Please note, all rules, dates, and times are subject to change. Complete the entry form. The entry deadline is August 21, 2026, and no refunds will be issued.

Everyone has a favorite recipe they love to whip up during the winter holidays – and we’re looking for the one you most enjoy preparing and serving. It doesn’t matter if the recipe is an appetizer, a main dish, a beverage, a dessert, or an item you fix for gifting, if it contains at least four eggs, you can enter it. The possibilities are endless, so we’re expecting Virginia’s eggceptional cooks and bakers to come up with something eggstraordinary – proving that Eggs are Meant to be Broken, Egg-specially during the holidays!

Interested contestants get tips and rules at Virginia Egg Council and contact your local county fair for details.
