A small, but knowledgeable crowd came out on a hot, muggy day to watch the tractor pull.
The Antique Tractor Pull that was postponed from the Caroline County Agricultural Fair was held Saturday, July 18. This was the second event of this type to be h on the new Robin Hall Track, just over 450 feet long, and wide enough to allow for two pulls to be conducted simultaneously.
The Antique Tractor Pull is presented by the Agricultural Fair Association in conjunction with the Central Virginia Antique Tractor Pulling Association. (For more information about this group, please visit cvatpa.com.)
