Tractor pull canceled, rodeo still “a go”

The Iowa-Missouri tractor pull slated as grandstand entertainment Saturday evening at the Greene County Fair has been canceled. It took less than an inch of Friday night rain to make the already saturated infield unusable for the heavy equipment of a tractor pull.

According to fair board secretary Doug Hawn, the Sunday night Grand River Rodeo is still scheduled. He explained that because of the lighter weight of the needed equipment, he’s not concerned about the rodeo.
