The Farm Bureau will host its annual Pedal Pull Contest on Saturday, July 16th at 12:30pm in the tent building on the Greene County Fairgrounds in Jefferson. Those who are 4-12 years old can participate and there will be age divisions. Everyone will receive a gift certificate to the Twiins Shoppe for a free ice cream cone. The winners of the age divisions will also get a gift certificate to Breadeaux Pizza for a free small personal pizza.

Registrations will be starting at noon and the contest is slated to begin at 12:30pm. Spectators are also encouraged to watch and cheer on the participants.
