The garden tractor pull was one of several activities and events in the annual Festival of Roses Saturday in Muscotah.
The events included a marksmanship contest, ping pong and beanbag tosses as well as a classic car and tractor show.
One of the vehicles on display was a 1963 Dodge Dart owned by Lancaster resident Matt Dorssom.
He says it’s one of his hobbies when he’s not tending to roads and bridges in the county.
