The 2005 season is rolling along in fine fashion. Pullers, crew members and track personnel are reminded that you need to sign for yourself at the entry area at each event. All pulling vehicles are allowed 2 armbands. 1 for the driver and 1 for a crew member. Others are available to legitimate crew personnel at an additional cost per person. All pullers must also remember that registration closes 1 hour before the start of the event. You MUST BE REGISTERED by that time.
Big thanks to the fair board members at Pocomoke City for holding their first rainfree pulling event this past June. Last year was a total washout but 2005 seen beautiful weather. The personnel did an excellent job with the track as did the commitee with the luncheon served to the pullers that afternoon. We hope to be back in 2006.

Temple Brizendine wanted us to pass along some info regarding his event on the 23rd of July. After the event has concluded, Temple has invited all pullers interested to stay after for a Pig Roast. All are welcome to attend and camp overnight.

Bonnie and I would like to welcome back Bryan and Denise McDonald to pulling competition. It is good to see them back so soon after their loss.
