The Chapple Heritage Committee is planning two new events for “Heritage Days” on Aug. 1-2 at the Both homestead north of Barwick.
If you have not joined them before, mark your calendar for this year. The committee is looking for interested folks for a plowing match, to go with the tractor pull.
All tractors must be antiques.
As well, the committee is looking for people interested in competing in a Swede saw event (wood-cutting and piling competition). All competitors need to have their own saw.
