CARBONDALE (WSIL) � Dozens gathered at SIU’s airport for this year’s Plane-Pull Saturday. There were 28 teams this year, which is double the amount of teams last year. A technical difficulty led to pulling a fire truck instead of the initially intended plane. Saturday’s pull raises money for more than 23-thousand athletes that participate in Illinois Special Olympics.
Teams of local law enforcement agencies, SIU students, fitness groups, high school students and the general public will participate in a larger than life tug-of-war challenge beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 5.
