Carl and David Armbruster, Superintendents (860) 940-8527
Saturday, adjacent to the Oxen Ring.
Starts after show classes have completed. Open to all teams strong enough to pull a loaded sled. Open to all teamsters – any age, male or female. 2 pairs per teamster.
Teamster must work alone, using mostly voice commands, to guide the team to load an unruly log onto a woodshod sled and then pull the sled through an obstacle course designed to simulate trees, bridges, and mud holes. The event is timed and the judge deducts points for each mistake. This is a show of patience and skill for both teamster and team. Good sportsmanship is expected and makes this event a crowd-pleaser. No nose baskets will be allowed.
The Fair pays 10 places and provides colorful rosette ribbons as well as a trophy for first place team.
