JUNE 8-10

and

Sept. 28-30.

We are making arrangements to have the Red Cross Blood-Mobile on the grounds on Saturday.
Their hours will be from 8 to 1.
and again from 2 to 6.
If you donate blood, we will give you $1 off gate admission.

We are starting a page on facebook.
Yep, we decided to join the masses!!

And we are planning to have tee-shirts for sale again this year.

We have heard about a couple of children to sponsor this year, but we know of some more that have sent us information. So, we have to decide which one to help. When we make that decision, I will put all the info on here.

Here are a couple of pictures that show just how much the girls work at our pulls. Sunday the track was cleaned and scraped for the pull, but the edges were a mud/clay mess. These three ladies weren't afraid to get dirty. But they won't have to do it again--we invested in our own laser to measure the distances if the sled doesn't have one.


 Tammy and Ashlee are measuring distances of the pull.

This picture was taken during a break. When they went back on the track,
Tanya (on the left) stepped in the mud/clay. Her shoe didn't come out!
But they can't wait to come back in August.

Bushwacker is the sled for the weekend.

Temple can hook anything over 3500#.

Our goal for the weekend is for everyone to have fun!!!!!           

Everyone that has participated in our pulls has had the opportunity to meet
the special children that we help. These children are the reason this event exists.
We have helped other children since we began in 2001, and we hope to continue in the future.

 

Those of you who have been followers of Wild Wheels Weekend will remember Logan, the boy we helped a couple
years ago. He is now a member of "KNOT" (Kids Not On Therapy). He has come such a long way since we first met him.
Here is a picture taken of him at the August pull.

 
   

Wild Wheels Weekend is held as a benefit pull.

There seems to be some confusion about our pulls. The pulls we put on are BENEFITS. We make NO MONEY on them at all. All profits (not proceeds) go to help with the medical bills of a local child. All the people working there donate their time.

Anyone who has been to the pulls can see the improvements we have made. The pulls started out with the old football field fixed to become a track. There were no guard rails for safety; no lights for night pulls (remember using headlights to light the track?); a tape measure for measuring; poor scales to weigh in. We now have guard rails on both sides of the track--no more snow fence to separate the track from the spectators; a very well lit track area for the night pulls; we now have a laser to measure distance; and we have been told that our track is the best a lot of the pullers have ever pulled on. These are all improvements that have been made in the last couple years. Most pulls are held during the local fair week, so they get support from the state/county. We receive none of that. All our monies are raised by sponsors, entrance fees and pulling fees. I have added a history page with pictures to show the changes I just mentioned. We very much appreciate the support we receive.

One factor in the town's favor is its location. It is very easy to get to--hard to find on the map, but easy to get to. We are about half-way between Binghamton and Utica on Route 8. It is easily accessible from I-88 (Exit 9-Sidney, then Route 8 north for about 10 miles); Or take Route 8 south from Utica for about 50 miles; or I-81 to Cortland, Route 41 east to Cincinnatus, Route 23 east to South New Berlin, then Route 8 south to Mt. Upton.
