The Western Farm Show and other weekend possibilities

• Carroll County Times
• It’s hard to resist the allure of a tractor pull.

Whether you grew up around livestock, the 51st annual Western Farm Show takes everything that’s cool about farming (tractor pulls, oversized farm equipment, and more cowboy hats than you can imagine) and puts it all under one roof for three days. The show runs today through Sunday in the American Royal Complex, with a championship tractor pull (in Kemper Arena) each night at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $8 at the door.
