LSGTPA Johnson County Antique Tractor Show & Pull Results from Alvarado

LSGTPA tractor pulling teams rolled into Alvarado, Texas for the Johnson County Antique Tractor Club Show and Pull.  Teams competed on the hilltop track at the historic Pioneers and Old Settlers Reunion Grounds, with two rounds of tractor pulling action to determine the winners.

Opening ceremonies featured the invocation by Arlen Foulks of Racers For Christ, followed by our National Anthem presentation by the super talented Jade Flores.  The Texas singer-song writer delivered an amazing performance, and will be a feature act during the upcoming Texas State Fair Country Showdown.
