Beer Garden

Beer, wine, and cider will be available for guests 21 and over with a valid ID. Thank you to Yamhill Bar & Grill for providing the beer trailer with fresh beer on tap this year!

Vendor Booths

Once you’ve got your corn dog and elephant ears, take a stroll through the park and peruse the local vendors that support Derby Days.

Handmade crafts, treats for our furry friends, or just some good ol’ information about your community - it’s all here at Yamhill Derby Days.

Check back soon to see this year’s Vendor Booths…

Frog Jumping Contest

Bring the biggest, baddest, longest jumping frog you can find and let’s see how far the big guy can leap!

Frogs like it wet, so watch out the Yamhill Fire Dept’s hose!

Kids Carnival

We’ll have lots of fun activities for the little ones. Games, activities, and more. Maybe even a dunk tank.
More information to come soon…

Silent Auction

Come on over and bid on some of great items donated by Yamhill residents and businesses.

Whether you’re hunting for a basket packed to the brim with Reeser’s jerky, a Tonka truck, or a beautiful Hydrangea - you find it here.

Highest bidder wins!

And all the money goes to the Yamhill Community Club to fund Derby Days and care for Beulah Park.

Tricycle Races

Jump on one of our 3 wheelers and pedal your heart out to win the respect of the community.

Fun for all ages, from 4 to 104.

Remember, you have to slow down before you make that big turn!
