Tractor Pull

Create a twist on a tractor pull with this fundraiser. Instead of seeing how much the tractor can pull, see how many people it takes to pull a tractor. Contact a local farmer that is willing to let you use their tractor and maybe their field to host the event. Get teams to form and pay an entry fee in order to participate. Award prizes in several categories, such as farthest in the mud, fastest pull, and heaviest tractor pulled, etc. You can either give a part of the entry fee or get prizes donated from local retailers. Contact local tractor and farm supplies stores to see if they will donate themed prizes. Charge an admission fee for the audience. Have a concession stand to raise extra money. Make sure to gear the concession stand items to the weather, coffee and hot cocoa for cold weather, beer, soda, iced tea, and water for warm weather. Have a pee-wee tractor pull as well. Let the kids pull toy tractors and have them race each other. Add a 50/50 raffle for extra donations.
