Combine Demolition Derby is smashing good time at the Carroll 4-H and FFA Fair in Westminster

The afternoon at the annual
But soon after 6 o'clock in the evening, the scene of the antique tractors had transformed into the clash of the alien mutant titans of the farm equipment world, as the giant machines danced in the makeshift heavy metal mosh pit of the third annual combine demolition derby at the country fair.
With names like “Smoking Panther,” “Pink Elephant,” “Black Widow,” and “Save the Ta Tas - Fight for the Cure,” the hulking machines paraded into the gladiatorial arena to the delight of the overflow crowd as the announcers, John Roop and Rachael Troppman, introduced the contestants.
[…]
Just before the action began, Forrest Shaw, the assistant chief of the Pleasant Valley Fire Department assembled the scores of firefighters and
“This is a neat event. We're here to make sure everyone is safe,” said Shaw as he surveyed the large audience that kept creeping toward the fence and the large concrete barricades in place to keep the machines in the arena separate from the crowds packed on the surrounding sloped seating area.
[…]
Pink Elephants on parade
The opera performed by the giant bellowing machines took place in four acts. Three heats with the winners of each of the heats appearing for the final duel.
The “Smoking Panther” driven by Kenny Nusbaum, survived heat No. 1. The High Clas Farm entry, the “Pink Elephant,” piloted by David Clas, prevailed in the second heat. And the crowd favorite, according to announcer Troppman, “Save the Ta Tas,” the Lakeview Farms entry captained by Jeff Harrison, won the third heat.
[…]
Survival of the pinkest
The end came at 9:45 p.m., as the “Pink Elephant” was declared the winner - as the second place finisher, the “Smoking Panther,” fell silent - vanquished after putting up quite a fight.
In addition to bragging rights, the first place finisher took home a prize of $1,000. Second place won $500, and this year's third place finisher, “Save the Ta Tas,” donated its $250 prize to the “Susan G. Koman for the Cure” breast cancer foundation.
“Isn't this fun?” said Troppman from the announcers' stand. “The families, friends… and the farms put so much creativity and effort into their combines - and then it's fun to see them crash into each other.”

4-H’ers heading to national competitions by Carrie Ann Knauer
Monday, September 08, 2008
Four teens from Francis Scott Key High School will represent the state at several regional and national livestock judging competitions this fall after winning the top positions in the 4-H competition at the Maryland State Fair last weekend.
This is the first time that the four-person A team will be made up of youths from the same county, let alone the same school, said Kathy Gordon, 4-H youth development extension educator for Carroll.
About 30 youths competed in the 4-H livestock judging competition at the Maryland State Fair Aug. 30, Gordon said. During the competition, the youths examine several rounds of beef cattle, sheep and swine, and judge them on their physical build and characteristics. They rank the animals in each class, then submit their rankings to be compared to the professional judges’ rankings.
Claire Bennett won first place with 614 points, followed by Drew Cashman in second place with 613 points and Lukas Ziegler in third place with 610 points. Claire’s brother Troy Bennett placed seventh with 578 points...
