On February 8th & 9th the fan favorite Demolition Derby returns to the Florida State Fair, but it all started in 1904. The American Flag only had 45 stars, Theodore Roosevelt was our president, and Florida was on an up swing. It was also the year that T.J. Laud-Brown (the manager of the Tampa Bay Hotel) came up with a great idea to drive traffic to the Tampa area. His plan was to bring the biggest fair in Florida to Tampa! He worked hard to convince the city founders and the rail line that they needed to bring the South Florida Fair to the grounds of the Tampa Bay Hotel.
The South Florida Fair Association was formed and plans for a new exhibition were proposed. That first Fair had simple attractions and was held in a single building on a 27-acre plot adjoining the Henry B. Plant’s Tampa Bay Hotel, where the University of Tampa stands today. This event soon was known as the Florida State Mid-Winter Festival and was the place to be! Families from near and far would come to the festival to play games, eat fair food and win bragging rights for their prized bull, best pie, or most beautiful quilt.
In 2020 the Florida State Fair is bring back something a bit heavier than a quilt, the good old fashion smashing and crashing that is the DEMOLITION DERBY. This years event will also feature some heavy hitting full contact racing as well.
Who better to bring the destruction to Florida’s largest fair than Florida’s very own “TOUR OF DESTRUCTION”. Join us Saturday Night, or Sunday Afternoon at the stampede arena in Tampa. Saturday Night will be the kick off event and feature the Stepp’s Towing Royal Rumble Style Demolition Derby with some full contact racing to kick things off, then on Sunday afternoon the main event of the weekend hits as 25 of the top Florida Drivers compete for the $1,000 and bragging rights to start the season.
