Join the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) to cheer on teams of students pulling tractors for charity in the annual Tractor Tug for Tots! 

On Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. students will face off in head-to-head tractor-pulling races. The teams of eight to 10 students compete by attempting to be the fastest at pulling a full-sized tractor down Reynold’s Walk. 

Proceeds from the event go to the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington. 

Started in 2008, the Tractor Tug for Tots is run every fall by the Student Federation of the Ontario Agricultural College and has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Last year they raised $13,826 for the Guelph Wish Fund for Children and the group hopes to raise $15,000 this year. 

Anyone who attends the event is welcome to donate and cash donations will be accepted on site. 

Check out these photos of last year’s competition:
