The 2018 Chase County Fair added a new event, the Heartland Puller Series Tractor Pull, which proved to be a popular addition. It’s returning this year, but will be in the Thursday, Aug. 15, 6 p.m. time slot. The demolition derby will be held Sunday afternoon this year. Above, Imperial’s Dirk Bauerle competes in the Heartland Puller Series event in front of a big grandstand crowd at last year’s fair. (Johnson Publications file photo)
