It took “watts” of energy for the Otter Tail team to win Milbank’s first-ever fire truck pull to benefit the Special Olympics. The Otter Tail Power team moved the load 45 feet in 16.77 seconds– the fastest time of the 18 10-member teams that competed. OTP gained the title, bragging rights, and the traveling trophy. Revillo Farmers Elevator took second place by combining forces to complete the tug o’ war in 18.64 seconds. The teams each raised $500 that will be split between the Milbank and South Dakota Special Olympics.
