Saturday was a beautiful sunny day in eastern Kansas...The temperature was in the low 80's and it was a good afternoon for a tractor pull which was held at Bronson,KS..The numbers were down some as lots of people were in the field..The sled was "The Black Widow" from Columbus,KS..Their next pull will be West Mineral,KS on May 14th..
