FIRST TIME EVER PULLING - Kayla Bunkelman of Athens gives her best effort in trying to pull in Saturday’s Altered Farm 11,000 class, in which drivers are only allowed to go 12 miles per hour. Her husband, Brodie Bunkelman, said the International Harvester 986 she was pulling had gears designed for an experienced puller, which is the reason she struggled in her first time pulling.
