FANCY taking on the town’s toughest Tug O’ War champions Then why not pit your strength in the Southport Tug O’War challenge at the
2009 Fun Fest! This year’s battle will take place at Princes Park on Saturday, June 13 form 3.30pm. Reigning champions the Devonshire Club, High Park, will return to take on willing competitors. Male and female teams of varying abilities are welcome (the Visiter entered men’s and ladies’ teams last year) so why not enter your own team and get ready to take the strain! Fun Fest chairman James Grundy said: “The Tug O’ War Challenge is always a highlight, there’s always a lot of excitement surrounding it. We can’t wait for this year’s event.” The event is so popular that other Fun Fest exhibitors pop across the field to take part.
Scott Burtoft, of West Lancs Dog Display Team, said: “Last time we were at the Fun Fest our ladies won the Tug O’ War and we are definitely entering it again this year.
