The Vintage Tractor Pull and Model T Races took place this past weekend at the High River Ag Grounds.

Local competitor, Ron Miller, says his family has been competing in tractor pulls for a long time.

"We started going to tractor pulls, then decided we wanted to participate in them. My two grandsons, nephew, and son-in-law compete, and I got them all into pulling together. It's kind of a family affair now."

Miller competes with his 1958 John Deere tractor in the heaviest weight class, but says the family favourite has to be their  little 82 year old John Deere.

It takes a couple weeks to prepare for the event, but the time is well worth it for Ron and his family.

The family team plans on attending other tractor pulls this summer including Pincher Creek, Millarville, and Blackie.
