Keystone Bracket Showdown Tractor Pull
October 21, 2022
The tractor pull committee of the Beaver Community Fair has decided to waive the 1 other hook requirement for the Keystone Bracket Pull October 22nd. Due to high travel expenses, etc. We will still have the $500 points fund for those who can attend the Thursday September 22nd pull and the October 21st pull. We hope to see you all at the Beaver Fair pull and the night before the bracket
Thank you for all your support.
Any questions can be answered by any of the contacts listed on the events page.
