Flood Victim Fund Raiser To Kick Off Season

This past winter and early spring were a challenging one for the people in the middle part of the country specifically in the states of Nebraska and Iowa with the devastating floods. As we kick off the OTTPA tractor pulling season at Arlington and Ravenna, we will be accepting check or cash donations that will go to help the farmers in Nebraska.

These monies will be given to an organization called the Orphan Grain Train. Orphan Grain Train is a Christian organization that works nationwide to share resources with those in need and those devastated by natural disasters. They are based right here in Norfolk, NE.

The Orphan Grain Train will use these donations for the relief of families devastated by the flood waters by purchasing water, food, flood relief supplies, building materials, etc. 100% of your donation will go towards helping families affected by recent floods.
