If the big iron isn’t your thing, you might want to check out the garden tractor pull, as either a spectator or a participant. The event starts at 10 a.m. Saturday of the fair, with weigh in starting at 9 a.m. Entries are $7 now. An entry form and full rules are available in the fair book.

The garden tractor pull has 10 classes, including two for children 10 to 15 years old. Competitors in the kids classes must wear a helmet and show ability to drive.

Places first through sixth win cash prizes.

The Kenosha County Fair runs Aug. 19-23 this year.
