Youngsters Power Past Competition in Pedal Power Pull at Iowa State Fair
August 19, 2011
Young Fairgoers pedaled their way to victory at the Pedal Power Pull held Tuesday at the 2011 Iowa State Fair.
In the Pedal Power Pull, kids attempt to pedal a mini tractor 40 feet (a “full pull”) pulling a box weighing from 80 pounds for 4-year-olds to 260 pounds for 11-year-olds. In the event of a tie or two full pulls, weight is added and a re-pull is held to determine the winner.
