Powerpull Sdr. Hygum (DK) 2021 cancelled!

From Powerpull.dk - Sdr. Hygum:
POWERPULL 2021 in Sdr. Hygum canceled!
The happy guests, the party, the noise and the black smoke will be missed in Sdr. Hygum this summer. The board behind POWERPULL has once again felt compelled to cancel the pull, due to developments in the situation around Covid19.
POWERPULL has arranged pulling events in Sdr. Hygum through 14 years, but the 15-year anniversary must wait to next year. It is now the 2nd year in a row that has been seen forced to cancel due to Covid19. The uncertainty around the development of infection, and any restrictions associated with arranging an event of this type, is of course the basis for the cancellation. 
But it is not least the consideration for the responsibility that is felt participating drivers from DK and all other countries, spectators and not least the many volunteer helpers on the square who have pushed the board to make a cancellation.
POWERPULL and Sdr. Hygum is a non-profit organization that invests the profits from the pulls held in the local area.
Most recently, it has become one multi-track with the name "Powerpull Arena" for the benefit and enjoyment of both large and small people in Sdr. Hygum.
During 2021, several initiatives will be made on the pulling area, so everything is ready for July 23, 2022.
The board behind POWERPULL hoping for the usual good support, and hope to see you all to full throttle and black smoke 🚜😎
Please share.

2015 European Tractor Pulling Championship - Brande - Denmark - Day 1

Beachpull Putten (NL) 2021 cancelled!

The official statement from the organization:
With pain in our hearts we have to inform you that the anniversary edition of Beachpull Putten, which was scheduled for July 9 and 10, 2021, will not take place. You have undoubtedly followed the news and heard that all major events are prohibited until mid-June due to the Corona virus. You understand that this is very close to our competition dates.  
All this time, intensive contact has been maintained with the municipality of Putten, because they ultimately have to give the green light for an event. The municipality indicates that the chance is very small that a Beachpull can be organized at all. We have therefore decided to move our Puttense event to 2022. In 2022, we hope to organize the Truck and Tractor Pulling spectacle again in Putten in 2022 and to still celebrate a big party in honor of the 20th anniversary.

RIP Earl Howard

On the 12th of May 2020, the pulling world lost another great pulling competitor. Longtime modified Allison puller Earl Howard from Taneytown, Maryland in the USA has passed at the age of 90. He was the owner and driver of the twin Allison powered mod called ''Hot Damn''.
Earl, together with his daughter Nancy Weller and his son in law Danny Weller competed with the tractor at the East Coast Pullers organization in the US.
 
The whole pullingworld team wishes Nancy, Danny, and the whole family a lot of strength to cope with this sad loss.
 
From Extreme Pulling Videos & Photos:   
We at Eastern Extreme Pulling Videos & Photos would like to take a moment and express our deepest condolences to Nancy Weller and her family on the loss of her father Earl. Earl was one tough competitor in his pulling career and an Allison man thru and thru. Here are a few pictures of his and Nancy's pulling career from the humble beginnings to present day. Please feel free to post a story or Photos. RIP Earl Howard.

The Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pulling Assn is proud to be the first event in this newly constructed Elwell Family Park!  

August 17 & 18th, 2021

More details to come! 
 
New to the Iowa State Fair in 2021: The Elwell Family Park
The Elwell Family Park will feature family friendly events, including a tractor pull in 2021; other events, like barbecue competitions, monster trucks and rodeos anticipated in future years
DES MOINES, IA (05/03/2021) (readMedia)-- Today, 100 days from the opening ceremony of the 2021 Iowa State Fair, the Iowa State Fair is pleased to announce a new attraction in 2021, the Elwell Family Park, which is made possible thanks to a transformative gift from Denny and Candy Elwell. As a result of the Elwell's generosity, Fairgoers will enjoy the return of tractor pulls at the 2021 Iowa State Fair. Additional family friendly events will come in the future, including monster trucks, rodeos and barbeque competitions among others. 
"The Iowa State Fair is the best part of our family's summer," said Denny Elwell. "Some of my fondest childhood memories are attending the Fair with my Mom and Dad. I have continued that family tradition bringing my children and now they are bringing their children to our great Iowa State Fair. Candy and I cherish the time we are able to spend here with our family, making memories they will treasure. Being able to share our love of the Iowa State Fair by contributing to its future is a great honor for our family. We are excited for the memories that the Elwell Family Park will create for Fairgoers."
Denny and Candy Elwell pledged $2 million to support the development of the Elwell Family Park, located in the northwest corner of the Fairgrounds. The Elwell Family Park was originally scheduled to break ground in 2020 and be completed for the 2021 Iowa State Fair. Due to COVID, the timeline for the project had to be reconfigured.
"The generosity of Denny and Candy Elwell is an inspiration for the Iowa State Fair," said Peter Cownie, Executive Director for the Blue Ribbon Foundation. "The Elwell Family Park is the capstone to the largest capital improvement project the Iowa State Fair has ever undertaken. Phase 1 of the Elwell Family Park will be a wonderful addition to the Iowa State Fair in 2021. The future is bright for Fairgoers because of the generosity of great Iowans like Denny and Candy."
For the 2021 Iowa State Fair, tractor pull fans will experience permanent seating for 2100, grass hills for viewing and additional seating, a concessions trailer and temporary restrooms. Additional seating, for a total capacity of 6000, permanent restrooms and expanded concessions will be completed in the near future. 
The Elwell gift is dedicated to the development of this project to attract even more family friendly events for the enjoyment of Fairgoers now and in the future. 
Iowa State Fair Tractor Pulls sponsored by Titan Tire, maker of Goodyear Farm Tires, will take place on August 17th and 18th. 
Tickets will go on sale at www.iowastatefair.org with further details to come from the Iowa State Fair and Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pulling Association.
