The grandstand lineup for the 2006 Rock County Fair includes two nights sporting activities.The fair’s first Ranch Rodeo is set for Friday night. Saturday night features the annual Bio Fuels Enduro Race.The Ranch Rodeo, sponsored by the Rock River Wranglers, will make its fair debut at 6 p.m. tomorrow.Those who love horses and like to watch local riders compete in some unique events will not want to miss this show."It’s a good event for the entire family to watch," said Marty Bonnett, one of the event organizers."The whole family can sit down and watch a Ranch Rodeo pretty easily. It can turn into a pretty comical event. We’re working with horses, so you can expect to see some entertaining things, including some of the riders rolling in the dirt."Bonnett and the Rock River Wranglers introduced Rock County to Ranch Rodeo competition last summer when they staged an event in Luverne Aug. 20 to raise funds for the fairgrounds.Bonnett said Friday’s event, which runs from 6 to 10 p.m., is similar to last year’s attraction."We’ll have 25 four-person teams competing in four different events. Two of the events were a part of our Ranch Rodeo last year, and the other two are slightly modified events that should be more entertaining for the crowd," Bonnett said.The four different events making up Friday’s show will be Trailer Loading, Doctoring, Add’em Up and Pinning.All 25 teams will participate in the four events, competing for event prizes and the overall championship during the evening.Bonnett said having local talent competing in the Ranch Rodeo should generate more interest to the public."I would say over one-half of the teams competing will be local teams, including one 4-H team. A lot of the riders, including myself, jump from team to team during a rodeo."The Enduro Race long has been one of the fair’s top attractions and should be again on Saturday.The 2006 version of the event, which is sponsored by the Rock County Corn and Soybean Association and Agri-Energy, LLC, is set to begin at 7 p.m.As usual, the Enduro Race is a 200-lap or a two-hour event, whichever comes first.A majority of the field consists of local drivers."As of Sunday, we have 40 cars entered," said Burdette Braun, one of the event organizers."I’m hoping to get 50 cars on the track Saturday night. We’ve had 60 or more cars the last couple of years."Braun said 16 of the 40 cars entered in the race on Sunday were from Luverne. The field also has drawn 12 drivers from the Adrian, Rushmore, Hardwick and Kenneth areas.Perry Schneekloth, the 2005 champion, will return to defend his title. Tracy’s Mike Bents and Luverne’s Ryan Walker, who placed second and third respectively at the race last year, will be some of the drivers trying to knock off Schneekloth.Tom Walker, who won the Pre-Fair Enduro Race three weeks ago, will not race on Saturday night.In order to make the race safer for the drivers, Braun said each car is required to have a fuel cell and racing seat installed this year.Those requirements are not expected to influence an event that has been a fan favorite for fairgoers in the past."We could use a little rain on the track prior to Saturday’s race so we don’t have to dump so much on it on Saturday," Braun said. "Other than that, I’m hoping to get 50 cars on the track and another big crowd into the grandstands on Saturday."
