Harness Racing
The most traditional entertainment at the Sandwich Fair
The longest running and most traditional entertainment at the Sandwich Fair is harness racing. Almost every premium book from 1900 to 1948 had the schedule and prices for races on the front or back cover.
The Division of County Fairs and Horse Racing oversees the state's horse racing programs, which provide monetary incentives to horse owners to encourage the breeding, racing and ownership of quality horses in Illinois.

Truck Pulls
Established in 1969
The National Tractor Pullers Association was established in 1969 by representatives from eight states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania). These representatives met to establish uniform rules and give the sport structure. From these meetings, the NTPA was started.
The NTPA sets the standard in the pulling industry for safety and competition rules. Respected by most domestic and foreign pulling associations, the NTPA Rulebook is followed across the world for bettering themselves to what has already been experienced by the NTPA.

Chris was born in DeRidder, LA and raised “all over”. He is married, has a daughter and now lives in Marietta, OK. He built the house where he lives. He also trains cutting horses. What’s important to him is “Family, ranch, music. That’s it.” This response is seemingly simple for a man whose professional credits include two gold albums, two No. 1 albums and 12 charted songs.
