“Pullin’ Power and Autumn Trails Fun!”

The morning air was crisp, the kind that makes my wooden panels gleam just a little brighter. The rumble of engines echoed down the street — not the usual Model A purrs I’m used to hearing, but the deep growl of tractors big and small, all lining up for the Autumn Trails Tractor Pull.
Now, I might not be built for pulling tons of weight down a dirt track, but I sure do appreciate a good show of horsepower — or maybe I should say tractor power! I watched from the sidelines, feeling my own wheels itching with excitement as one after another, those mighty machines hooked up to the sled and gave it all they had. The crowd cheered, the ground shook, and the engines roared — oh, it was music to my ears!
Each tractor had its own personality. Some were shiny and new, others proudly wore decades of history like I do. I couldn’t help but imagine their stories — generations of hard work, harvests, and hometown pride.
By the time the final pull rolled through, the air was full of laughter, concession stand food, and diesel smoke — a true Winnsboro celebration. I might be more “show car” than “workhorse” these days, but being there made me feel right at home among all that history on wheels.
If you missed it this year, don’t worry — there’s always next time. Just look for me cruising around town, ready to roll to the next Autumn Trails adventure. 🚜💨
