Big Brown Truck Pull Set to make debut in paducah
Are you ready for the Biggest Challenge in Paducah? Well, it's on it's way as the Big Brown Truck Pull is ready to make its debut in that city on Saturday, August 22. The pull will take place downtown on Lower Braodway during the Downtown After Dinner festival.
More than 20 teams are expected to compete in this year's event, which pits 15-person teams from local companies and organizations against a UPS 18-wheeler to see who can pull the truck 12 feet in the shortest time. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest teams in Men's, Women's and Co-Ed Divisions.
The pull itself is just part of the fun. Teams are encouraged to come up with an original pre-pull cheer. A prize will be awarded for the team that displays the most spirit as well as the best shirt design.
There will also be prizes for the Top Fundraiser and the Top Fundraising Team. In addition to trophies, the division winners, Top Fundraiser and Top Fundraising team get their team photo on a billboard in Louisville following the event. The Top Fundraiser also will receive a Samsung 10.2 Megapixel digital camera.
The Big Brown Truck Pull is a family-friendly event and participants, family and friends are encouraged to spend an evening of fun in Downtown Paducah, but you don't have to stay the entire time to participate or to enjoy the fun.
