Alto Fair Pull

[Achto 27,499]

Alto is a small unincorporated village with a population of around 1100 that has a 2 day (Wed & Thurs) fair every year. This was my first time at this fair & I was absolutely amazed at the crowd of people that were there on a Wed morning. The crowd only grew through out the day & it was down right packed when I left at 3:30pm. The garden tractors started pulling at 9am followed by antique farm tractors at 1:30. I participated in both.

 

Wanted to share a few pics with you.

Mod class.

 

Child stock class. Most of the kids in this class are between 6 and 11yrs old.

 

Lt pro mod.

 

I was in Adult Stock class, not much time to take pics during my class. My brother was able to figure out my camera long enough to get short portion of my pull.

 

 

I did not win but I did manage to go further than a few of the Cub Cadets. Actually I did better when I jumped in to the 25hp twin cylinder class, still no win but pulled 20ft further than I did in my class. Was a lot of fun and the weather was great.

I did pull with the 30 also. Against a bunch of cheatin' bast....  Not really, fell in about the middle of my class with the 30.

Is there any particular reason they don’t do this on a weekend?

Some sort of tradition, I guess??

                    Probably the rides are booked for bigger events during weekends and smaller fairs need to take a back seat.

Make sense--lower rates for ride rentals, maybe.
