(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – Gather your team, get your gloves, and get ready to pull.
Special Olympics Indiana – Ripley Ohio Dearborn Counties will host their annual Fire Truck Pull on Saturday, August 12 at Lawrenceburg Civic Park.

Each team raises a minimum of $500 in pledges to see who can pull the fire truck 50 feet in the shortest among of time. The winners will receive the Fastest Pull Challenge trophy. After the Fastest Pull Challenge, teams will then compete in the Lowest Combined Weight Pull.
Other festivities include family attractions and fire safety displays and demonstrations.
Teams can raise money through hosting fundraisers, individual pledges, or sponsorship.
All proceeds support Special Olympics Indiana – Ripley Ohio Dearborn Counties, allowing athletes with intellectual disabilities to train and compete on a local and state level in 20 Olympic-type sports.
