The Annual CCATA MSTPA Tractor Pull may not be an International affair, but in Case you were wondering, there are a lot of Deere folks that help to pull off a Forduitous task.
There may have been some visitors that came from Minneapolis or Moline, perhaps Allis Chalmers from New Holland, there may well have been fans of McCormick in attendance, we may never truly know the origin of the Massey amounts of folks that came to watch or participate in this event.
There may be those that thought the rain may have caused the pull to move like a Caterpiller, but we believe Oliver guests appeared to have a grand time.
So, Farmall of us at the Cole Camp Antique Tractor Association, we would like to express our thanks and gratitude to a wagon load of folks for all of the hard work and dedication to pull off such an affair. None of this could be possible if it wasn't for volunteers, donors and sponsors that were willing to give generously, so THANK YOU, to so many, for such a great ride.!
