The Great Combine Pull
at Cornucopia Farm
Embedded Files
One night at supper, someone said, “Fire truck pull? Nah. Let’s pull a combine.” Naturally, everyone laughed… until we checked the internet. Turns out nobody had done it. The internet said it couldn’t be done. The internet was wrong.
Picture this: a 32,000‑pound combine. A rope. Fifteen determined Special Olympics athletes and volunteers. Questionable judgment? Maybe. Incredible results? Absolutely.
It wasn’t easy. Faces turned beet red. Veins made surprise appearances. A few folks discovered muscles they didn’t know they had. But that combine moved. Some teams even pulled it twice—without splitting their britches, which we consider a major victory.
Was it hard? Yep. Was it ridiculous? A little. Was it fun? You bet your favorite pair of overalls it was.
Now imagine how much better it’d be with more teams, more cheering, and more bragging rights. That’s where you come in. Grab some friends, grab some grit, and come help us prove once again that “it can’t be done” is just a suggestion.
Now, think of up to fifteen of your strongest friends...sanity optional...and head over to Cornucopia Farms. You can help a worthy cause and discover muscle groups you didn't know you had. See there? Win, win!
And just when you think that’s the toughest thing we can throw at you… welcome to the Mule Team Challenge.
Maybe you’ve got a few mule‑headed folks on your team who swear they don’t need the whole crew. Perfect. This challenge is for them.
Here’s how it works: start with the smallest number of people you honestly believe can pull that big red hunk of machinery five feet. If it doesn’t move, add another person. Still not budging? Add another. Keep stacking teammates until that combine finally gives in.
Once you succeed (and everyone catches their breath), your team weighs in. The team that moves the combine using the lightest total mule-team weight takes home the glory. Bragging rights included. Award speeches encouraged. I‑told‑you‑so’s guaranteed.
Let the mule measuring begin.
