Cumberland Valley Tractor Pullers

We have completed 50 years of pulling at the Newville Lions Fairgrounds. We had an exciting year of tractor and truck pulling in 2023. The AgTronic LED display board provided pullers and spectators with pull facts. Our sponsors, competitors and patrons are very important to us. We hope that our pulls will remain a pleasurable family event in the Cumberland Valley. Thank you for visiting.  See you at the events!
