Monster Trucks Return To Benton County Fair Next Week
Monster trucks and beatercross races are returning to the Benton County Fair in 2024! The fair will host the larger-than-life trucks on Wednesday, July 31st. The show is set for a 6:30 p.m. start time.
Tickets cost $15 for adults and $5 for kids and can be purchased at THIS LINK. Tickets include general admission seating and a Pit Party starting at 5:30 p.m..
Here's a look at the 2023 edition of the show:
We have been to several monster truck shows over the years. We have been to a couple of Monster Jam events, a Hot Wheels event and more. However, leaving the Fair on Tuesday night both my wife and son remarked that they had even more fun at the Benton County Fair event.
There were a couple of reasons why. First, the venue is much, much smaller than those where we saw the bigger shows so we got an up-close-and-personal view of the massive trucks.
Second, the price was right. $15 seemed a bit steep on its surface but it was a well-produced show that also included a very entertaining 'beater-cross' element, which featured beat up, regular vehicles going all-out to win a race on a short track.
There were plenty of highlights at the Beater-Cross, including a truck that rolled to a stop right-side-up, several crashes and even a couple of engine fires.
Of course, the star of the show was Robosaurus. A 40-foot tall, fire-breathing dino-robot, Robosaurus came alive at the conclusion of the racing. After coming to life and rolling across the track, the colossal fossil picked up a Buick, took a few bites, then set the thing on fire. Awesome.
