I've heard of tractor pulls, but today is the first time I have ever heard of a pedal pull. I had to do research to find out if a pedal pull was what I thought it was and sure enough, I discovered that a pedal pull is youngsters on pedal-powered tractors doing exactly what their motorized counterparts do. The National Pedal Pulling Championships are taking place today at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota.

I guess I found out about the activity just in time. Please take a look at the
children in action and you'll agree, it is an activity that brings joy. I imagine that is why the Marshalltown Noon Optimist Club of Iowa host their own pedal pull event.
Sisters Becca and Lexi Mohlis participated in the Iowa State championships and won in their age divisions. Becca even qualified to participate in the National Championships today at the Corn Palace. Good luck!
