Have you ever had the pleasure of attending a Banana Derby? I haven’t but it sure sounds like a lot of fun.

Haven’t heard of the Banana Derby? Well it’s a show consisting of monkeys riding dogs in the Banana Derby race course. If you’ve ever been to one you likely came across it at a local fair or festival. I’ll bet you it was free to watch too.

If your town is planning their annual festival or fair it might be worth letting them know that they can request that the Banana Derby be brought in as a self contained attraction. It’s certainly a unique and unusual event and I’m sure it would draw big crowds.

Just imagine all of the parents bringing their kids to the Banana Derby, building memories and taking pictures that will last forever. It would be a day to remember.

The Banana Derby always draws the media to it’s shows too. For fair and festival planners it would be great to be able to publicize your event with the inclusion of the Banana Derby, as the festival would probably end up getting more media attention. When the Banana Derby was on tour with the Barnes and Baily circus in the recent past they ended up being featured on WVVA-TV.

Give your fair or festival a little more flair by adding the Banana Derby to your list of attractions.
