Pictured above is Ben Salo preparing to drop his pig into its pen and win his qualifying heat. Ben went on to win the World Championship Race on Saturday and become the youngest World Champion in eighty-three years. The Pig-N-Ford Races provide fast and furious action for fairgoers to enjoy.

Averill Arena will be packed with spectators for the 84th running of the world-famous PIG-N-FORD RACES. There will be two races Thursday, Friday and Saturday, starting at 5:30 p.m. Winners of these races will compete in the World Championship Finals on Saturday immediately following the two qualifying races. Be sure to get your seat in the grandstands early to enjoy these crowd-pleasing and exciting races. Tillamook's own PIG-N-FORD RACES have been featured on Good Morning America, KATU's "Spirit of the Northwest", National Geographic, the internet and Comedy Central. They are an integral part of the Tillamook County Fair. The Fair Board thanks them for their efforts in pleasing fairgoers for all these years.
