C4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Angnst 20,1983 PLEMINGTON, N.J. - Agriculture continues to be the predominant feature' of Flemington Fair - the Flemington Agricultural Fair! There are many, many events and activities that reflect the agriculture and its supporting industries in Hunterdon and nearby counties. To be sure the horse and pony pulling contests don’t relate to present farming methods. They take us back to the day of the work horse on farms. Yes, several teams of horses and ponies are locally owned. Don Alpaugh and sons, Lebanon, and Search DaLrymple, Hampton, participate each year and have for as long as most of us recall. These events are exciting and enjoyable to watch. Horses and their drivers shoulder loads of up to 5 tons! The farm tractor pull is an event of farmers and their tractors competing for 30 inch high trophies and significant cash premiums. These tractors are all farmer owned, stock models... not souped up, modified in any way. They come from the fields. Some indeed are tuned up for the occasion... and washed. These events are all activities carred out by a 28-man Farmers’ Day committee, headed by Bob Maimers, East Amwell farmer. Bob can’t say enough for the support his committee gives in the form of time and energy. He also is quick to recognize the con tributions of the machinery dealers serving this area, the County Ag Board, and the fair itself. Farm Tractor Pull, all seven classes, is set for the first Far mers’ Day, Tuesday, Aug. 30.
