FULL-BODIED POWER


LENGTH: Short :   22 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  Draft horses - those strong giants of the working world 

- once supplied much of the power that we use heavy trucks and

tractors for today. In the 19th century, they pulled plows on farms

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 &

About in today's Current. color. KEYWORDS: TYIN
