 For the person who likes a lot of noise and action, Morgan's Truck Pulls and Demolition Derby are for you! Both events are set in mid-summer on different dates. The truck pulls start things off in connection with Morgan's famous Morgala Days celebration in mid-June. Under the lights in the big outdoor arena at the fairgrounds, people line up to see everything from small pickups to tractors and giant trucks pitted against heavy weights, Before the event, fans enjoy a tailgate dinner, complete with loud music and lots of socializing. There are classes for local competitors and professionals, and all compete for prizes and money.

 The Demolition Derby is set later in the summer near the 24th of July celebrations. People from all over bring their clunker cars, painted in crazy colors, to compete for the championship. Who will be left standing? By the end of the crashing and bulldozing of all those cars, few of them survive and keep running to the end.

 The demolition derby is also a money-making venture by the sheriff's office to raise money for the department. With the proceeds they are able to fund several major projects, and buy uniforms and equipment for the officers.

 The Morgan County Fair has added the ATV rodeo as a new attraction, since more and more people have become ATV enthusiasts. The ATV rodeo is an exciting event that pits man against ATV in the barrel race, relay race and more. A brand-new feature that has been added to the fairgrounds is a dirt bike course; an outdoor arena filled with jumps and bumps for ATV's and dirt bikes that challenge the most experienced rider as they race for the prize money!
