Weekend Schedule
When planning your visit to this exciting event, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of when and how long you can partake in all the fun. The event spans over three weekends, with each one offering unique activities for both seasoned participants and newcomers alike. Let’s dive into the weekend schedule to get a clearer picture.
Every Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM until 5 PM, the venue buzzes with activity, making it an ideal time for families or friends looking to spend quality time together. Each day is divided into morning and afternoon sessions, each featuring different competitions and activities designed to keep everyone entertained throughout the day. The morning sessions typically start earlier, allowing participants to warm up and get ready for the energetic events ahead.
Is it possible you might be thinking, “How can I fit in everything?” Fear not! Each weekend has its own distinct flavor:
- Weekend 1: Focused on farm equipment challenges, including tractor pulling and plowing races.
- Weekend 2: Highlights include animal handling skills and interactive workshops with local farmers.
- Weekend 3: Features a grand finale with awards ceremonies and closing activities.
This structure ensures that each participant can enjoy their preferred categories without missing out on the excitement of other weekends. Planning your visit around these schedules will help you maximize your enjoyment and make the most of all that this event has to offer.
Participant Categories
Farm Equipment Brands
When you think of agricultural events, the diversity in farm equipment brands is like a colorful tapestry. From John Deere to Case IH, these giants have been shaping the landscape of farming for decades. Each brand brings its unique strengths and innovations to the event, making it a perfect playground for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Whether you’re partial to the green and white of John Deere or the bold red of New Holland, there’s something for every gearhead here.
Age Group Divisions
Age group divisions in this event are as dynamic as they come, much like the stages of life itself. Just as a young sapling grows into a towering tree, so do participants progress through various categories based on their age and skill level. It’s not just about winning; it’s about growth and learning. Are you a sprightly teenager ready to showcase your skills? Or perhaps an experienced adult with years of expertise under your belt? No matter where you are in the journey, there’s a category that perfectly suits your stage.
Competition Rules
Safety Guidelines
Safety is paramount in any competition. Just like how a pilot must follow strict protocols before taking off to ensure everyone’s safety, competitors must adhere to these guidelines to prevent accidents and injuries. Are you ready to join the ranks of those who take their game seriously? Familiarize yourself with these essential rules:
- Wear appropriate gear: Think of it as putting on your helmet before jumping into a bungee jump—protection is key.
- Follow all instructions from officials: Imagine being in an orchestra, where every musician must listen to the conductor; following directions keeps everyone on track.
Weight Limits
Ever wondered why there are limits on how much you can carry or wear? Just like how carrying too heavy a load can make your trek uphill more challenging, weight limits ensure fairness and prevent anyone from having an unfair advantage.
- Equipment weights: Each piece of farm equipment has its own weight limit to balance the field. It’s similar to ensuring all athletes use standard-sized balls in a game.
- Participant weight restrictions: These are in place to maintain level playing fields, much like how you wouldn’t want one team to have an extra player just because they’re heavier.
By setting these limits, we ensure that every participant has the same opportunity to shine and succeed. Whether it’s through careful planning or strict adherence to rules, everyone can enjoy a fair competition where talent and skill truly decide the outcome.

Prizes and Rewards
Cash Awards
Imagine walking away from an event not just with memories, but with a substantial cash award in hand. Our event is designed to cater to those who dream big, where every participant has the potential to turn their passion into tangible success. The cash awards are structured across various categories, ensuring that even the most dedicated participants can walk out as winners.
For instance, top performers in each category will receive generous cash prizes. These aren’t just a few dollars; we’re talking about sums that can significantly impact your future endeavors or simply reward years of hard work and dedication. The idea is to provide a financial boost that can transform what was once merely a hobby into a viable career path.
Sponsorship Deals
But the rewards at our event extend beyond cash alone. We understand that sometimes, especially for smaller businesses or up-and-coming talent, cash might not be as accessible or beneficial in the long term. That’s why we’ve introduced sponsorship deals as an alternative reward option. These agreements can provide invaluable exposure and networking opportunities.
Consider it like a bridge between your current position and where you want to be. By securing a sponsorship deal, participants get access to resources, visibility, and connections that could propel them towards greater success. Think of it as a stepping stone—each sponsorship is tailored to fit the unique needs and goals of its recipient, whether that means increased brand recognition or direct financial support.
Together, these cash awards and sponsorship deals create an environment where everyone has something valuable to strive for, no matter their background or initial resources. Our goal is to level the playing field and ensure that creativity, hard work, and determination are rewarded in ways that truly matter.
