Corn Eating Contest
(5 total during festival)
Brief description: The contestant will be judged by racing against others in your heat as to who can eat one ear of corn on the cob by biting and swallowing all of the corn the quickest. The heat winners will race against each other to determine the winner of the award. The daily winners may return Saturday evening to compete against each other for the Grand Championship. Come watch the butter fly!
Kiddie Tractor Pedal Pull
Limits: classes by weight (105 lbs. or 12 years old is maximum).
Brief description: The child will peddle a tractor while pulling a trailer with shifting weight. The trailer will shift more weight onto the back wheels of the tractor the farther the tractor is peddled creating more resistance to peddle against. Those completing full pulls will return for the next heat with more weight added to the trailer. Places will be determined by the length of the final pulls of the same weight. Children will be divided by weight classes.
