Princeton, IN Pull Cancelled
The Gibson County Antique Machinery Association along with the NATPA has made the decision to cancel the pull at Princeton, IN for this upcoming weekend. It is not an easy decision to make but we value the safety of pullers. Weather conditions are unfavorable for travel to the pull and the forecast doesn’t look much better for the pull. We are discussing the possibility of a reschedule. Please let anyone not on social media aware. Thanks, Alison.
