Thank you for your support!

Amazing!! The Vernon County Pullers Association was able to present $5000 to each rural fire department (Milo, Deerfield, Bronaugh, Compton Junction and Sheldon) that partnered with us for the Vernon County Truck and Tractor Pull.
Kris Sisseck, Deerfield Fire Dept, stated this is the most money that has ever been raised from an event for their department.
The departments stated the money will be used for gear (gear for one firefighter is $5000), maintenance, equipment and training.
Thank you to all who sponsored, attended, worked, shared the event…helped in any way! It’s great to come together as a community to help one another.
