Ottawa Team Wins State Pull at Kansas Fair
Everett Ewing and his pony team of Bud the gelding and Fly the mare, weighing about 585 pounds, won the high point trophy in pony pulling at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. The team pulled 325 percent of their weight in three days, earning 1,900 pounds from a nine-match slate. Ewing bought the pair in Lawrence a year ago and spent months breaking them, with Mrs. Ewing assisting. They haven’t been ridden or saddled, yet the team showed rare drive, supported by Ewing’s long experience with pulling ponies. Upcoming 4-H events include Friends of 4-H Night, 4-H Council, and chorus practice at Celebration Hall and First Baptist Church.
