Trout Tales, July 5
I was track-side for the annual Barry County Truck and Tractor Pull on Saturday night. I saw a ton of local folks showing off their rides, like siblings Saige and Otto Miller, of Seligman, and Cassville’s own Brian Kirk. My favorite moment of the pull though actually happened in a trailer behind the track. Someone brought a fancy truck with the body on hydraulics. When it was lifted up at first, I though the truck fell of of something. Then I saw the guy hop in a seat and I thought, oh no he’s working on it somehow. Wrong again.
