Boston.com Profiles Hopkinton State Fair Demolition Derby

Dan Garvis, owner of Skyfire Productions and promoter of the Hopkinton State Fair Demolition Derby, was recently profiled on Boston.com, the online publication of the Boston Globe.

Garvis tells about helping out at his first derby in 1967 and explains that many of today’s derby fans are die-hards, staying to the bitter end. Recalling a memorable incident, Garvis says, “A woman fell in the stands and broke her ankle. She refused to let EMS take her out until the event was over. She crawled back to her seat.”

Article writer Hilary Sargent gained national notoriety for her recent story, “Harvard Business School Professor Goes to War Over $4 Worth of Chinese Food”.

We thank Ms. Sargent for further exposing the world to the joy of demolition derby.
