Graves truck pull Aug. 18 helps kids

The Graves County Truck Pullers Association is preparing for its fifth annual truck and tractor pull on the fairgrounds in Mayfield. It will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18. As in previous years, money raised from the event will fund Christmas gifts for children in need through the Mayfield and Graves County public schools. Proceeds from the concession stands will benefit projects of the schools’ family resource and youth services centers as well as Cuba and Wingo elementary schools. This photo was taken at last October’s meeting of the Graves County Board of Education, when organizers presented checks to Mayfield and Graves County schools’ family resource and youth service centers for some $28,500. The association raised more than $88,500 in the event’s first four years. Pictured here are, from left, (front row) family resource directors Juliana Reyes, Andrea Elliott, Jennifer Morris, Jean Ann Miller, Stacy Harris, Kaye Horn, and Tana Jones and (back row) Truck Pullers Ricky Wilson, Larry Wooley, Kenny Wiggins, and Kenneth Wiggins.
