This is a press release from the FFA Alumni Association
The Lodi FFA Alumni Association is hosting a tractor pull and demolition derby again this year. Join us on Friday, August 13, for our 11th annual Tractor Pull, and again on Saturday, August 14, for the 9th annual Demolition Derby. Both events start at 6pm at the Lodi Fairgrounds Grandstands, 700 Fair St, Lodi, Wis.
“It’s great to be back and planning for the pull and derby again, after taking a year off,” says Rachel Wipperfurth, Lodi FFA Alumni President. “We are looking forward to working with Ultimate Impact and to having a great weekend!”
New this year, Ultimate Impact Promotions will be helping to run the demo derby. Visit the FFA Alumni website or Facebook page for a complete list of classes and prizes. Also new for 2021, each admission will be given a chance to win either a kids’ pedal tractor or motorized car. Two pedal tractors will be given away during the tractor pull and two kids’ cars will be raffled off during the demo derby.
“Every paid admission will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win 1 of 2 prizes,“ notes Wipperfurth, “Friday night’s raffle will be the pedal tractor, and Saturday night we will be giving away the motorized kids’ car.”
