Last Chance: Allentown Fair Ends Monday

Fair ends Labor Day with J&J Demo's annual demolition derby.

By Tom Coombe

The Allentown Fair ends Monday with a bang. Probably quite a few of them.

After a week of concerts, the fair turns its grandstand over to J&J Demo, whose annual demolition derby is an end-of-fair tradition.

This year’s derby adds something new to the mix: the “Crazy Compact Cars” race.
