As we begin to see the summer wind down there are still many activities planned in our community. This weekend, enjoy the Lone Tree Gun Show and the Sidney Jaycees Demolition Derby. And we mustn’t forget the 7th Annual MonDak Harvest Fest Tractor & Pickup Pull, scheduled for August 23rd at the Richland County Fairgrounds. Hosted by the Sidney Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, this event continues to grow as we see more competitors wanting to test their “metal”.
New this year is the Full Pull sled provided by Full Pull, Inc of Mandan, ND. In the past we have had a percentage pull with the winner being determined by the percentage of their own weight pulled. A Full Pull is determined by footage, making it much easier for fans to see who the winners are and cheer their favorites on. Tractor classes consist of: Farm Stock No Modifications, Improved and Modified. Pickup categories are 4x4 & 2x4 Stock, Heavyweight/Diesel and Modified.
An ATV and Lawnmower pull will again be provided by Marvin Varner of Terry, MT. Classes will include ATV’s under 500cc, 500 to 700, over 700, steering wheel class, along with lawnmowers.
Weigh-in for participants begin at 3:00 pm. Registration fees are $25 and will be added to the purse to be awarded to our top finishers.
The grandstand gate will open at 5:00 pm with the pull beginning at 6:00 pm. A beer garden and concessions are available on the grounds. Call 406-433-1916 for more information.
