Grubstake Days is still five weeks off, but it is time to get your tug o’ war team ready and signed up. The Grubstake Days tug-o-war is back, and organizers are looking for teams to participate. A special challenge is being sent out to Marines and sailors, as well as law enforcement, firefighters, and local businesses to form teams and compete for bragging rights and prizes. There is a weight limit of 1,500 pounds per team. The tug-o-war will be held on the carnival grounds in Yucca Valley. The preliminary competition will start 12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 27, with the finals starting the next day, Sunday, May 28, at 11:30 a.m. The deadline to register teams is April 30. The registration fee is $100. For more information, call Carl at 760-401-6552 or Tracey at 760-368-8990.
