Sacramento, Calif., (5/21/18) – If you haven’t already, you will soon feel the rumblings of the Toughest Monster Truck Tour making its way to the Sacramento County Fairgrounds. On Friday, May 25th at 7 p.m., some of California’s quickest Pro-Arena Trucks will take over the Grand Stand to give fairgoers a non-stop thrill ride. That’s right, real, full-sized 1,500 horsepower monster trucks are back at the Sacramento County Fair!
Fairgoers will witness iconic monster trucks go head-to-head as they battle through obstacle courses, ramp over cars, perform freestyle stunts, and much more! Guests will not want to miss the main attraction, legendary DRAGON SLAYER, driven by Kreg Christensen as he takes on Quad Chaos, Dirt Crew, and Kamikaze! Not to mention all of the other Toughest Monster Trucks in the lineup: Wrong Way Rick, driven by Rick Swanson, Obsessed, with Eric Swanson behind the wheel, and Joe Cypher driving Airborne Ranger.
“The big boys are back,” says Brian Manson, owner of MTX Event Production, the production company for Toughest Monster Truck Tour events. Pamela Fyock, CEO of the Sacramento County Fair is just as eager to have these ‘big boys’ return to the Fair. “What better way to kick off Memorial Day weekend than with the Toughest Monster Truck Tour at the Sacramento County Fair? Trucks are louder and bigger than ever, bringing kids of all ages the classic Fairground entertainment that we all crave,” says Fyock.
Guests will get the chance to meet the drivers, get autographs, take photos, and even touch the trucks during the Pit Party from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.! The Pit Party is FREE with event admission. Tickets for the Fair and Grandstand events will be available for purchase online at www.sacfair.com or at the Sacramento County Fair office.

Join over 100,000 guests and experience more than 30 carnival rides, dozens of free exhibits, musical guests, and activities all Memorial Day Weekend.
As an added bonus this year, the Sacramento County Fair is partnering with Make-A-Wish® Foundation to host Terrell and his Adopt-A-Wish® sponsors, Sutter Health. Terrell, 14, who battles leukemia, wishes to have his very own carnival, so the Sacramento County Fairgrounds will open one day early so Terrell’s wish can come true.
Not only has Terrell has shown bravery by fighting his critical illness, but recently he was recognized as a local hero for saving neighbors in their apartment building after it caught on fire in Stockton. At his carnival, Sutter employees will be there to support him in his wish coming true as well the Stockton Fire Department to recognize him as a local hero.
“Wishes would not be possible without the collective support of our local community,” said Jennifer Stolo, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish® Northeastern California and Northern Nevada. “Because of Adopt-A-Wish sponsors like Sutter Health and lending lands from the Sacramento County Fair, Terrell’s wish is going to be a magical experience for him and his family.”
