The Christian County Tractor Pullers Association is pulling in some family entertainment for everyone to enjoy come Saturday, July 11, at Tabor Park in Sullivan where the association will be putting on a free pedal and garden tractor pull.
“We are a family-based group from kids to 88-plus year-old guys and gals,” explained Ed Righter, a member of the association. “It is family-based club. We even have some ‘groupies’ that follow us.”
The association actually began 30 years ago and was started by the Jackson family of Taylorville, Ill. Christian County Tractor Pullers are a pulling garden tractor club that consists of 50 members from mostly central Illinois who pull competitively. They have classes that range from Stock 10 horse-power to NQS (National Quarter Scale) 50.5 cid alcohol burning tractors. Not long ago, they added stock twin classes and a pro-twin class to their options of tractors to compete.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
