One of the joys of our 30 years of  Pedal TractorPulling  has been meeting new people and making new friends.  This weekend we had the pleasure of being part of the PULLIN’ FOR KIDS benefit for spinal cord tumor  cure research. Their goal for this year’s campaign is to raise $125,000 to fund the research grant for this research.  It makes us feel good to see an entire community work together towards such a worth project. 

We want to thank  the volunteers who assisted  in our part of the event and compliment the “big” tractor pullers, people involved in the silent auction,  food providers and everyone who made it a successful day.  We  thank  “Wyatt’s Cord Foundation” for inviting us to be a part of this year’s event.  Bob & Doris Wood
