Todays tractor pull will be held as scheduled. The weather looks to be sunny and hot so be prepared.

A few things to remember:

Enter the fairgrounds at the horseshoe pit entrance. This entrance is also on Main Street, about 100 feet from the entrance we have been using the past couple of years.

Stop and look both ways before you cross the race track as there may be horses training. GIVE THE HORSES THE RIGHT OF WAY. Only cross the track when it is clear and do not drive along the track.

There was a membership meeting held on April 22nd that has brought about some very noteworthy changes.

The club is purchasing another tractor and needs to raise additional funds for the purchase as well as increasing operating cost. During the meeting, two temporary changes were voted in to help raise these funds during the 2012 pulling season. These changes are to take effect immediately.

The first item was to increase the hook fees by $3.00 across the board. The new hook fee for members is $10.00 and the hook fee for non-members is $13.00.

The second item was to allow each tractor to hook three times when previously a two hook limit was in place.

By allowing each tractor to hook three times, the club voted to modify rule #3 and rule #5 under the section, Weight Classes and Points.

These rules will now read as follows:

Rule #3: Each tractor may earn points in (3) three different classes only. Points will be as follows: First place – 10 points; second place – 9 points; third place – 8 points; fourth place – 7 points; fifth place – 6 points; sixth place – 5 points; seventh place – 4 points; eighth place – 3 points; ninth place – 2 points. Anyone hitching receives 1 point.

Rule #5: Each tractor can earn only (3) three trophies at the end of the year.

As mentioned above, these changes are only intended for the 2012 pulling season. You should keep in mind that these changes can be voted in permanently during the first meeting of 2013.

On May 26th, the Springhouse Market and Restaurant in Eighty Four, PA is having their annual Farm Heritage Days. The event will run from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The Springhouse has contacted our club to see if any of our members or friends would be interested in displaying their tractor(s) at this event. They asked that the tractors be in place by 11:00 AM and to remove them after 4:00 PM. The folks at the Springhouse will provide certificates for those displaying tractors to eat lunch during their event.

If you need more information or if you plan to attend, please let us know so we can relay how many tractors the Springhouse can expect.
