The Dungannon Super Pull is
Saturday, June 16.
The high horsepower sport is
returning to the Dungannon
fairgrounds for its eighth annual
display of the best in modified
farming equipment. Super Pull
committee president Steve Adams
said that the pull is expected to
attract between two and three
thousand participants and spectators
from across the province, as well as
the States.
“It’s the largest truck and tractor
pull in Huron County,” he said.
“Ninety-nine per cent of the people
who show up are members [of the
Southwestern Ontario Tractor
Pullers Association] but if you’re
into horsepower, this event is for
you.”
The committee, working closely
with the Lucknow Kinsmen Club,
has been putting in overtime
recently to prepare for the big
day. According to Adams, more
than $15,000 in prize money is
up for grabs, along with tasty
treats and entertaining performan-
ces that the whole family will
enjoy.
“We have clowns and tattoo artists
coming in for the kids,” he said.
No, not real tattoos, but the
enthusiastic youngster in your
family will have the opportunity to
walk away with a real wash-away
tattoo of his choice.
“We’ve got tons of give-aways,
door prizes and attractions for
everybody,” he continued. “It’s
always a real fun thing.”
Getting the grounds prepped for
so many pairs of feet is left up to
Fresh Horses, a Garth Brooks tribute
that takes the stage Friday, June 15
at 9 p.m. for the bargain price of $10
per person.
This year, Super Pull gates open
at 3:30 p.m.on Saturday
with entrance fees ranging from $15
for adults and $5 for children aged
five to 12 while the preschoolers
saunter in for free. Following the
pull, a beer tent and dance will
wrap-up a day of horsepower,
traction, and cheers.
“If you want a seat, get here
early,” said Adams, explaining that a
crowd of more than 2,000 people
often leaves the small village of
Dungannon with little seating left
over. In the event of rain on the 16th,
Adams said that the pull will be
rescheduled for the following day,
Sunday, June 17 at noon. The
committee also provides ear plugs
free of charge.
“This year we’ve got two V-12
Allison alcohol engines used in the
Second World War coming from
Michigan,” said Adams. “Also, this
year we’ve added a Pro-street diesel
pick-up class.”
The pull is a memorial event for
Michael L. Pentland, and the grand-
prize winner in the 6,500 lbs
modified farm class will be awarded
with a memorial plaque.
The seven tractor classes are
divided by weight increments and
restrictions, Adams explained, and
pulls will feature classes with Super
mini rods, sanctioned farm stock,
single engine modified, farm
modified, two, and four wheel drive
trucks, along with pro stock and
super farm.

Adams a call at 519-525-3354, or

High horsepower sport
in Dungannon, June 16
Morris-Turnberry council
approved tenders for tar and chip
paving of Clyde Line (between

and Huron Bruce Road.
Norjohn Contracting was the
successful bidder in both projects.

cost $48,430 and Clyde Line,
$58,340.
Council also approved the tender
of MSO for spray patching of the B-
Line and other areas at $3.05 per

Barry O’Kraftka, public works
co-ordinator, reported that
construction on Glenannon Road
will begin in late June or early July
and suggested a meeting with
affected ratepayers during the week
of June 18-22.
John Smuck attended council to
express concerns over the inability
of heavy concrete trucks to travel
over the Blind Line Bridge. He
wondered about the possibility of a
floodable river crossing that would
allow heavy trucks to cross the river.
Councillor Mark Beaven primised
to take the issue to the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority.
Council agreed to give the Twp. of
North Huron permission to detour
traffic via Walton Road and Elevator
Line during reconstruction of
