Three-person hay hauling teams race to see who can stack hay bales in the back of a truck.  The competition doesn't end there, as contestants must then drive through an obstacle course with hills and barriers and re-pile the bales the fastest! There are divisions for adult men, adult women, youth boys, and youth girls.

Hilarious to watch and free to enter! No pre-registration required.
