The rainy day didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the youngsters as they clutched the steering wheels and with determination in their eyes, made some awesome pulls. With the normal location wet and drizzly, the pull was moved to under the roof of the gracious Beef Producers Pavilion. 59 youngsters took their turns at their chance to take home the top prizes in the second round of the Whiteside County Fair’s Children’s Tractor Pedal Pulls on Saturday.
