Bring your team of 4-6 and show we can move mountains (or tractors) when we work together! Join Mid-Plains United Way for our inaugural human tractor pull. Teams will race against the clock-and each other-to win the tractor pull champion title.
This is a terrific opportunity for businesses, ranches, fire departments, police departments, schools and families to show who can "pull together" the best.
As a fundraiser for Mid-Plains United Way, teams are asked to guarantee a contribution of $300 and crowdfund via social media like Facebook fundraisers. Registration includes a t-shirt and Prime Rib Feed ticket for each participant.
All participants must complete a photo/video release and liability waiver prior to the event.
