LSGTPA GOES TO THE FAIR

The LSGTPA tractors will soon be returning to the fair !!  The Hunt County Fair is set to open with a double-shot of tractor pulling action, as the LSGTPA pullers will be on hand on June 8th and 9th, for the only two day show on the schedule.  The pullers will open the Hunt County Fair, which runs June 8-16, with a double header on Friday and Saturday nights, of opening weekend.  The 2011 Hunt County Fair Pull was one of the most exciting events, with some classes decided by a rare pull-off, to determine the winners !

The Hunt County Fair will take place at the fair grounds in Greenville, Texas.  Greenville was founded in 1846, and named for Thomas J. Green, who was very instrumental in the founding of Texas as a Republic, and as the Lone Star State !  Greenville was home to the largest cotton compress, until the mid 1900's and has long been an agricultural base, making the Hunt County Fair in Greenville the perfect place to see a battle of tractors, and the perfect place for the Lone Star Garden Tractor Pullers Association to perform !
The Hunt County Fair arena will be transformed into a great pulling track, where fans should expect to see 20 - 30 pulling teams competing for titles in each class, thanks to great sponsors like Crawford-Smith, Inc of Greenville !

The LSGTPA is also very excited to have the opening ceremonies to include our National Anthem presentation by Amber Carrington !  Amber Carrington is an extremely talented performer and the LSGTPA   is honored to have her as part of the show !

The Hunt County Fair looks to be starting off with a great show, so make plans now to see the Friday night show on June 8th, which will start at 6pm.  See the link on this page, or www.huntcountyfair.net for more information on the schedule of events.  See ya'll at the fair !
