Carrie Kinder, of Licking, left it all on the field in her pull Saturday. Sadly the Thunder Mug had to be towed off the track after the run.

The Licking Truck and Tractor Pull returned to R&S Track Saturday and had perfect weather for the event, unlike the previous pull which stopped almost before it began due to a thunderstorm. The FFA Fundraiser drew a large crowd.
Half-price entry was offered due to the previous rain-out, and the hillside was full. People filled the grandstand seating and lined the fences with chairs. Others gathered in pickup beds and watched from the hillside.
The event was a combination MMTTPA and SMTTPA sanctioned event.
