FAIR UPDATE: Truck, tractor pulls postponed


Thursday night's truck and tractor pulls scheduled as the main event for the Crittenden County Lions Club Fair have been postponed due to weather. Above, fair officials give drivers the disappointing news a few minutes before the event was scheduled to begin.

The pulls have been moved to Friday night, slated to begin at 7 p.m., running simultaneously with the mud bogs, a first-year event at the county fair. One admission to the fairgrounds on Friday will cover both events. Tickets purchased Thursday night by fair goers will be honored Friday.

Thursday marked the third fair event hampered by the weather. On Saturday, the horse show was cancelled due to muddy conditions at the arena. Two days ago, the talent show was moved indoors due to rain.
