The town of Turin in Coweta

County is having a celebration this weekend. The party starts on Friday

night with a concert and free refreshments and continues on Saturday with

the eighth annual Turin Antique Farm Power Show and Tractor Pull.

The West Georgia 2-Cylinder

Club hosts Saturday's events, which will take place behind the Turin Fire

each other going at the lowest throttle, a handstart race, a powder puff

pull and a pedal race.
