(Please note change of time.)

North side of square

Teams of four, using four ropes, will pull a Farmall "H"  tractor a distance of 100 feet.  The team that pulls the tractor with the fastest time wins.  To do this the team needs to switch out one member and will have to pay the $10 entry fee again. 

There will be three age divisions:  15 – 20 years of age, 21-35 years of age, and 36 years and older.  All participants will be asked to sign a waiver prior to participating.  Prizes are $100 to first; $40 to second; and $20 to third place winners in each division.

Rules and Guidelines

Each individual will have a rope, which is 24 feet in length.  The rope will be taped at the distance of 20 feet, any individual placing their hand or any part of their body on the rope within the 20 feet is disqualified.  The ropes cannot be knotted.   At the start gun, the team will pull the tractor, carrying the operator, for 100 feet as fast as they can.  The operator will be able to stop the tractor when they reach 100 feet.  The same Heritage Bank employee will be on the tractor for the entire competition.  The tractor operator will serve as the safety official for the contest and can stop the contest at any time.

Two timers are used.  There will be a flag person to start and stop the competition.  The flag person will serve as the judge.  The judge's decision is final.

Contestants are encouraged to wear protective gear, footwear, and gloves. 

This event will happen June 19, Saturday morning, 10:30 a.m. on the north side of the City Square.  Entries will be accepted until the day of the event.   Find the strongest guys or gals and put together a team!  Enter more than once, just make sure to change at least one team member each time.
