We received a number of questions this week concerning the new parade route. We have put together a new map to more clearly show where the new Henning Festival parade route will follow.

Just a few days away! Who's ready?!?!

It is festival time! Any volunteers able to help get the derby area ready?

We are looking for volunteers to help get the derby area set up on Thursday night! Starting at around 5pm if available, but come when you can. Meet at the fairgrounds derby area. More hands will make the set up go quickly!

Show #2 of our 3 show weekend! 👊

Henning has always been a fun stop, and this year the board and local businesses have been putting in the work to improve the track. We can’t wait to see the results.

New this year: Women’s Chain Compacts!

The best part? These cars follow the exact same rules as our Open Chain Compacts, so you’re building a car you can continue running at future Chaos shows.

Let’s fill the pits, pack the “grandstands”, and show the Henning community that all of their hard work was worth it.

This track has always been a rowdy one, but we’re still thriving for bigger hits in 2026!

Thank you Evergreen Lawns

As a small business in the Henning-Ottertail area, we love to see and support local efforts to improve our community’s offerings! The addition of basketball and pickleball courts would be fantastic in Henning!

The team from Courtside Crew that volunteered during the recent 2025 Region 11C Amateur Baseball Tournament profited $650 with their concessions work! We saw the hard work of so many and wanted to match those efforts.

Ever Green Lawns has matched that $650 and we challenge local businesses and community members to do the same — in whatever amount they feel led!
