Mini tractors will beat Zurich fair
Once again this year
Zurich Agricultural Fair will
feature a mini tractor pull.
What was once a childs toy,
with a conversion kit added
they are four to six pounds of
dynamic fun. It has become
such a growing sport that
associations and pulling
competitions have been
formed.
Zurich's match will
feature over twenty com-
petitiors. If you have never
seen a child's toy tractor pull
over 60 pounds you should be
in the pulling area at 3:30
p.m. at Zurich Fair.
This competition is for the
Molson's Awards.
