Tractor Pull winners are announced

The 56th annual Camden Tractor Pull was held last Friday and Saturday.

The event is sponsored by the Camden Lions Club which uses the proceeds to benefit Camden Park and Lions projects such as Leader Dog, Lions Eye Bank, and cancer research.

Saturday's pull was not finished because the sled broke down, affecting at least five classes.

"We are so sorry that we didn't get to finish the pull," said Lion Kenneth Berkshire. "We refunded the money back to those participants."
