The ever-popular demolition derby kept the momentum going as the 163rd annual Tuscarawas County Fair wrapped up its eight-day run Sunday night.

A Friday night rain that lasted through 3 p.m. Saturday forced cancellation of the Saturday harness racing schedule, but the cool weather that followed Sunday was perfect for the huge throng of spectators who filled the grandstand to capacity.

Derby fans who couldnt find seats for the spectacular metal-to-metal smashing extravaganza in front of the grandstand were relegated to the standing-room-only spaces alongside both sides of the grandstand. They also occupied infield seating and standing room near the derby arena.

The derby featured 80 drivers in nine heats, plus a championship feature.

Fair Board member Bud Lahmers, a co-chairman of the demolition derby who also serves as speed (harness racing) superintendent, said cancellation of Saturdays harness racing program was only the second time in 30 years that has happened.

However, all of Saturdays races were run Sunday, giving fairgoers a four-hour speed program that included pari mutual wagering.

J.D. Byrider of Dover, a major sponsor of Sunday nights demolition derby and of the Neal McCoy show on Wednesday, kept fairgoers happy and contented throughout the fair with free bags of freshly popped popcorn.

Tony Marcantonio, J.D. Byrider owner, said the company gave away an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 bags through Sunday. He said the company over the years has been popping about 1,000 pounds of popcorn per fair, but this year they ran out and had to get more.

As of Sunday, he said about 1,500 pounds had been popped. Thats a lot of popcorn, and it made a lot of kids smiling faces this week, said Marcantonio, as he re-entered the J.D. Byrider booth to continue passing out free popcorn.

Weve been doing this since 1999, and I think its a great thing, he added.

The property, which has been boarded up since the horrific fire started deliberately by Mick and Mairead Philpott in May 2011, will be pulled down

The demolition of the house where six children perished in a blaze set deliberately by their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott will begin today.

The Philpotts were jailed in April , along with friend Paul Mosley, after being convicted of killing the couple's six children by setting fire to the three-bedroom semi-detached house in Allenton, Derby.

Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died in the blaze in May 2011 at 18 Victory Road. Duwayne, 13, died days later in hospital.

The demolition work will see 18 Victory Road and neighbouring property number 20 razed to the ground.

Workmen will begin to prepare the site today by erecting scaffolding, fencing and netting to the front, rear and sides of the properties.

Derby City Council said the process of demolition is likely to take up to three weeks; one week to prepare the site and a further two weeks to take down both properties, beginning with the outbuildings and roofing structures.

Demolition of Philpott house where six children died in deliberate blaze to begin

Work to demolish the house where six children perished in a petrol-fuelled blaze set by their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott will begin today.

The Philpotts were jailed in April, along with friend Paul Mosley, after being convicted of killing the couple's six children by setting fire to the three-bedroom semi-detached house in Allenton, Derby.

Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died in the blaze in May 2011 at 18 Victory Road. Duwayne, 13, died days later in hospital.

The demolition work will see 18 Victory Road and neighbouring property number 20 razed. Workmen will begin to prepare the site by erecting scaffolding, fencing and netting to the front, rear and sides of the properties.

Derby City Council said the process of demolition is likely to take up to three weeks; one week to prepare the site and a further two weeks to take down both properties, beginning with the outbuildings and roofing structures.

Derby Demolition Ltd, John L Morgan & Sons, Maxplant Ltd and Ward Recycling have each agreed to donate their fee for the demolition work to Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre in Skegness, which provides disadvantaged local children with holidays in the town.

Mr Baggy Shanker, cabinet member for housing and chairman of the Neighbourhood Board in Sinfin, said: "I think we all welcome the demolition of these properties. Whilst the tragic deaths of the six Philpott children will never be forgotten, local people continue to move on and this is symbolic of the end of a very difficult time for the community."

Mick Philpott was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after being convicted of six counts of manslaughter following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this year.

The trial heard that Philpott used petrol to set fire to his home in a bid to frame his mistress during a child custody battle.

His wife Mairead and Mosley were told they would each serve half of a 17-year sentence for their part in the plan to set fire to the property.
