The Sublimity Harvest Festival began in 1973 as a friendly competition among local farmers to see whose tractor could pull the farthest. Back then, a “sled” was hooked to the back of the tractor, and as the tractor moved down the track, spectators would jump on and add weight until the tractor couldn’t pull any further. The distance was measured with a hand-held tape.

Fast forward over 50 years, and this beloved tradition has grown into a three-day event that attracts competitors and spectators from all over the Western United States! The festival now features not just tractor pulls, but also thrilling truck pulls, exciting ATV pulls, and awe-inspiring MONSTER trucks!
