PALOMA, ILL. -- Sunday, dozens of trucks and tractors made their way to the finish line as part of Paloma's fourth annual Tractor Pull. Hosted by the Coatsburg Lions Club, people from both Illinois and Iowa rode into the event carrying as much as their tractors could pull. Sunday's events coincided with the town's 53rd Annual Paloma Fiesta.

"Today's going real smooth. We've got a lot of community outreach in the area, lot of help. Little humid out, but every now and then there's a breeze. But I think all in all, it's really smooth," said Ben Hesse, a past president of the Coatsburg Lions Club.

Money raised from the tractor pull will go toward community including the ball diamond, scholarship funds and Camp Calhoun.
