Oh, the thanks we have to give…our list is long this year!
First and foremost, to the best Pull teammates for all of your help and support as we’re now pulling off two major events in one weekend. Mad props to us for a job well done on both accounts…it gets crazy at certain points but holy wow, we did them really BIG this year!! 👏🏻
Extra blessings to Delton’s wife, Anna, Blayne’s wife, LaCee, and Alison & Sarah’s family for their love and positive reinforcement during our busy time.
And now, the official kudos to our 2026 BF Pull Helpers:
• Sarah & Jimmy, for all of your hard work for 3 long days before, during, and after the show…there are just not enough words to express how grateful we are for everything that you seamlessly put together and take apart—arena, b**r garden, extra bleachers, and an astronomical number of banners. It’s so much and yet you two handle it it so well. 🙏🏻
• This year’s extra arena & track team — Spencer, Stacey, Cameron, Eivind, Alan, Avery, Matt, Jeff, Josh, & Curt. Thanks for all you did to keep us going.
• Joe Gish who not only moved the Shed Center bar but also wired it up to work properly in the B**r Garden area!
• Andria & Audrey, for all of your help before, during and after the Pull (especially with the drivers dinner this year)…we greatly appreciate you two! Special thanks to Cassie, Ron, Tracie, Dallas, & Brian for helping with the dinner also.
• Mountain West Bank ladies for managing the ticket booths and all those important details.
• Jamie & crew at Branding Iron Logo for handling our banners, team shirts and merch.
• Our Security Team — Brian, Will, Heather & Jasper for keeping an eye on so many areas.
• King of Announcers - Mark Peterson, who does the best job of keeping the show flowing and informing our audience of the important details.
• Track Sponsors: Boundary Tractor, Apex Construction, Cameron Fitch Trucking, Fitch Construction, The Shed Center, Wheelie Clean/Koverage, North 95 Rental, Elisha Sandelin Trucking. Your contributions are greatly appreciated!
• Our Vendors — Sully’s Food , Badger Boosters, Pizza Forge, Tartan & Thistle, It’s Poppin’ Kettle Corn, Branding Iron, Cabover Coffee, Shriners, Eagles Club, and the Boundary County Fair bar team…thanks a million for being there to support our crowd. (Thanks also to The Flame guys for jumping in to serve tacos at the Truck Show and feeding some of our team!)
• Extra thanks to KG&T for providing extra nice restroom facilities and handwashing stations.
• Grandstand Cleanup — Tomi Bateman and the Inspire girls basketball family.
• Our Spectators — BIG thanks to each and every one of you who came to watch the show!! We appreciated your patience this year as we started a little late and ran really long…so many of you stayed for the duration and we all noticed!
NOTE: Many of the pro pullers have repeatedly said that Bonners Ferry is their favorite place to pull because of our crowd and we can’t begin to tell you how much we love hearing you cheer after every run, year after year. They think the Meet & Greets are awesome because of you also, so thanks for that as well!
• Our Sponsors — We hung 40 banners this year and there were several businesses that didn’t have a banner but wanted to support us anyway. Amazing!!
Here’s the deal: we know what it’s like to run a business in a small community and we see so many of you supporting LOTS of other events, school activities, the fair sale, fundraisers, etc. We know times are tougher, you get asked to donate a lot, and yet you all came through for us in big ways.
Please know that we never take your generosity to our event for granted and do our very best to promote your businesses not only during our event, but throughout the months beyond.
• Our Local & Pro Pullers — thanks for bringing your rigs to put on SUCH a GREAT show!! Whether you rolled in from town or traveled miles to get here, every single one of you added value to our pull and we appreciate the time + financial investments you made to take your turn down the track. (Hope to see you all next year!)
• The Pro Teams — Steve, Craig, Sami, Brian and the Cascade Pullers crew + Jason from the Pacific Northwest Pullers team for helping us handle so many important pieces and keeping our event on track, literally. We appreciate all of your support and attention to details as we strive to grow bigger and do better every year.
• The Sled Crew — Carl & Megan Werner of TMD Motorsports, thanks for coming all the way over from Valier, Montana to bring your sled to our event.
And last but not least, an extra big thank you to Jaycee, the Boundary County Fair manager, who answers questions, makes sure we have our ducks [mostly] in a row and lends her cheerful support however she can. We appreciate everything you and the Fair board do to improve the fairgrounds for us and all the other events.
That’s a wrap on thank you’s for 2026…if I missed anyone, please let me know so I can add you to my list.
And yes, we are already planning our 2027 show and counting down the days until we get to do it all again!!
With gratitude from all of us,
Alison, Delton, Sarah, & Blayne
