Kenton County Fair Sanctions With Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series

One of the largest fairs in Northern Kentucky, the Kenton County Fair, has just agreed to sanction one of its days with the Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series. “We are very proud to have the Kenton County Fair in Independence, KY as one of our premier events for 2009”, said CEO Tom McConnell. “Fans will see some of the best pulling action all season long at this event.” The event will take place July 24 at the Kenton County Fairgrounds in Independence, Ky.

The pull will feature four classes. Lt. Limited Super Stock Tractors, Super Farm Tractors, Pro Street Diesel Trucks and Pro Farm will be pulling. The purses for the Lt. Limited and Super Farm will pay $700 to win. “We expect a good turnout of pullers and fans alike”, said Series CEO Tom McConnell. “These are the most popular classes in this region, and we are looking forward to a great show”.

Kenton County has a long history of good pulling events. Some of the biggest names in Super Stock Tractor Pulling have attended this event since the 1970’s. Kenton County was one of the biggest events on the Bluegrass Pulling Series back in the early 1990’s and the event is known for its big crowds and great pulling track.
