Pullin’ in the Wood, the annual tractor pull held in Collinwood, was a big success again this year! It was once again held over two nights, Friday, September 8 and Saturday, September 9. The arena that was prepared for the pull was packed to capacity at the Dixie Youth Park, with spectators there to watch pullers from Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Kentucky show their stuff with their tractors and jacked-up trucks. The trolley ran each night of the pull, picking up spectators from their parking spots to take them to the arena. The pull didn’t end until nearly midnight each night, and the vendors pretty much sold out.
Pullin’ in the Wood is a great draw every year in Collinwood, along with the Old Timers’ Day celebration. The Collinwood Beautification Board, hosts of both events, said that Pullin’ in the Wood is planned for the second weekend in September every year coming up.
