CCAMA In Cotton Days Parade Washington, UT

The beginning of the parade is announced and the moment arrives when you can hear the rumbling of the tractors and see the American flags unfolding and waving in the winds. The long line of CCAMA members came one by one down the hill with their children and grandchildren and dogs riding right up there with them. They smiled and waved as they drove by. It was an inspirational sight to see and a heartfelt patriotic feeling.

Were you there?

The Fun Pull was held at Red and June Salisbury's. We arrived around 9:30 am. The weather was gorgeous and the pull went on under blue skies and a last quarter moon.  


Some tractors drove right into Red's from the road and others were

unloaded off their trailers. Everyone weighed in.

WORK PARTY 2015

An annual work meeting was held at Red and June Salisbury's place. That is Red over there on the right. 

 I hear there was Pizza for lunch and adjustments were made for the tractor sled .

FYI for those of you who are new to all this, like I am, you may want to know what a tractor sled does so I got that information for you and me below.

 The sled is known as a weight transfer sled. This means that as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sled’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sled. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds. The further the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.

Here is a slide show I put together. Thank you to my husband Paul Moen for a quick report and photographs.

FUN PULL at Red's In Washington, Utah
Saturday April 11, 2015 

See you all there,
Deborah Moen 

Test and Tune

The Snow has almost all melted and it is time to get everything up and running. The Test and Tune Pull is scheduled for March 22, 2014 at Red's Place. Kick off is at 10 AM. 

On March 8, 2014 we had a work meeting at Red's. There was a good sized crowd and lots of work was done. Thank you to Rosie for delivering hot Pizza.

We tuned up the sled, by replacing some of the inefficient parts and fixed some safety issues. The left wheel had been popping and is now fixed. Everything on the sled was checked and is in great working order.

We could use new advertising for the signs on the sled. Prices are still $200 for the year and the sign appears on both sides and will be at all events. Let's get as many as possible before Cotton Days. Signs can be made in just a few days, so there is still time and Cotton Days starts with a parade. If you have any questions please contact June for more details.

We are looking for pictures from the work meeting on March 8th. If you have any pictures or words to share please send them to Matheson and they will be included as soon as possible.

SEE YOU ON MARCH 22, at 10 AM!

Thank you- Al Matheson for the picture of the tractor in the snow.
