HURON — The South Dakota State Fair announced Wednesday that “Thunder at the Fair,” an Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pull presented by Lankota and Kibble Equipment, will cap this year’s grandstand entertainment lineup on Monday, Sept. 4, at 1 p.m.
The pull will be an Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pulling Association (OTTPA) sanctioned event with 14 classes and 250 competing vehicles. The truck and tractor pull will feature four divisions: light limited pros, super farm, unlimited super stock and modified four-wheel drive trucks. OTTPA sanctions over 70 sessions from Texas to South Dakota.
State Fairgrounds manager Peggy Besch said, “’Thunder at the Fair’ is going to be an exciting show that fairgoers won’t want to miss. We haven’t had a truck and tractor pull at the fair for many years, so we are thrilled to have one back. It’s the perfect ending for this year’s excellent grand stand line-up.”
