Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
The 8th annual Ada War Memorial truck and tractor pull drew 1,000 people to the competition on Saturday night after being rained out on Friday.

Hear them roar! The trucks and tractors competed in eight classes on the "back 40" of the park.

Hardin County pullers sponsored the event which drew drivers and machines from Ohio and nearby states. The local organizations motto is "Let's turn some dirt."

The pullers will be back for the F&M Picnic for a two-day competition on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 12 and 13.
