LENGTH: Short : 22 lines ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO: Draft horses - those strong giants of the working worldby CNB- once supplied much of the power that we use heavy trucks and

and hauled freight wagons to town and back. You can step back to
that time this weekend when Wintergreen Farm puts on a draft horse
pull and old-time farm festival. Festival events start at 10. a.m.
Saturday and Sunday at the farmstead two miles south of Floyd on
Virginia 221. For details about the weekend activities, see Out &
