Dos and Don’ts
1. Please do not leave your tractor next to the (hen house). We need to see what’s going on and also need to hear. Tractor pulls are noisy places we realize, but you can help by moving your tractor to a staging area. You can stand near the track or speakers to see and hear what’s going on. 2. Please do not block the view from the bleachers. 3. Please don’t speed around on your tractor. We do not want anyone getting hurt and there are often children around. You do not have drive at idle, but please pay attention to your surroundings and speed. 4. Please feel free to ask any questions (or ask for updates) at the (Hen House), we are happy to do so. However, please know we have to keep the pull moving forward. |
