Pain Court hosting truck and tractor pull

Pain Court will be full of trucks, tractors, and semis Friday night for the 32nd Truck and Tractor Pull.

Despite all the rain, the track under the water tower is ready to go.

"We have people that are professionals in grooming the track," said Frank Letourneau with the Dover Kinsmen. "Everything is looking good."

Letourneau said there are different classes in the truck and tractor pull.

All the money raised stays in Chatham-Kent.

"We support the hospice, the Children's Treatment Centre, the schools. We help children," said Letourneau. "That's our mandate, to help children."

The gates for the truck and tractor pull open at 5 p.m. and the action starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at the gate.
