Pit Party gives fans access before Sunday’s competition

– Visitors to the California Mid-State Fair will have an opportunity to meet competitors and see their vehicles up close during a Tractor Pull Pit Party before the Tractor Pull on the fair’s closing day.

The Pit Party will take place Sunday, July 26, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. inside the Chumash Grandstand Arena. The event is open to Tractor Pull ticket holders.

Guests can meet drivers, take photos, and walk through the pit area before the competition begins. Once attendees enter the pit area, they will not be permitted to re-enter if they leave.

The Tractor Pull begins at 7 p.m. with reserved seating.

The California Mid-State Fair opens at noon on its closing day, giving visitors time to explore exhibits, livestock displays, food vendors, shopping, and entertainment before the evening event.
