One of the events that the Litchfield Visitors Bureau is excited to promote this coming weekend is the annual tractor pull at the Forest City Threshers site. The event begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 24th.
Threshers President Dale Groskreutz says there will be food and beverages available during the tractor pull including pork chops, hot dogs and beer. He says most of the tractors will be 1980 and newer, along with some older models from the 1930s and 40s, and there will be two skids – and some of the classes have changed.
Groskreutz says there will also be 3 classes of trucks. He says there are a lot of great sponsors helping to make the tractor pull at the Forest City Threshers site possible this Sunday. Threshers Secretary Laura Niece says proceeds from the event will go toward the FFA Alumni Association scholarship fund. She says Litchfield High School FFA students will be helping on Sunday.
Niece says people can find more details about this weekend’s tractor pull or about the August Threshers show on their Facebook page or at forestcitythresher.com. She says they are looking for more volunteers to help with the August 15th and 16th show as they’ve added more exhibits.
Chamber Executive Director Deana Wheeler says the Litchfield Visitors Bureau is getting ready for the Parade of Bands on June 16th. She says it will begin at 6 p.m. and there will be lots of food vendors ready to serve lunch and supper that day. Wheeler says you can find more details at litchfieldmn.com.
