MOUNT VERNON — One of the Knox County Fair’s most popular traditions took center stage at the grandstand on Thursday night.

Cars colliding and dirt flying were sure signs of the crowd pleasing demolition derby.

A crowd nearly as big as its Rough Truck Night from Wednesday gathered for the noisy, fun event.

With already-beat-up sedans, SUVs, and trucks tearing up the infield of the harness track, there was no shortage of demolition and destruction.
