Heavy Hauling Pullers Coming To Premiere Southeast Event In Tanner
Written By

Athens-Limestone Tourism
Alabama Championship Tractor and Truck Pull will rev up the fun July 31st-August 1st at Tanner High School 12060 Sommers Road in Athens, Alabama at 7:00PM both nights. People and competitors from all over the South come to this annual fundraiser for the Tanner Athletics Program sponsored by the Tanner Quarterback Club. This annual event brings an estimated 6,000 people each night to Tanner, AL and the Limestone County community.
This premiere Limestone County agritourism event started in the 1970's when Shirley Haney and Johnny Malone returned from a pull in Columbia, TN. They put together this Tanner cornerstone event following the devastation of the 1974 Tornado Super Outbreak that devastated the community with intentions of boosting the athletics program of Tanner School.
Nearly 40 years and more than $1.5 million dollars raised, the Tanner Quarterback Club and Tanner School athletics programs have worked together to expand sports fields and associated services. Their efforts have allowed for the initial purchase of seven acres to construct two youth sports fields. An additional 20 acres have purchased in the school's vicinity with discussions underway to expand the sports fields to include another baseball/softball field, a soccer field, and a track. The Tanner Quarterback Club has also use the funds to light the baseball and football fields, and construct a baseball diamond.
Tickets for the Alabama Championship Tractor and Truck Pull will be sold at the gate each night and are $15.00 for adults; $10.00 for children 7 & up; and children 6 & under are free. T-shirts and food and beverage concessions will be available during the pull. Ear plugs are suggested, as these professional trucks and tractors can be extremely loud.
