KICK THE DUST UP – The community of Bluevale was filled with the sounds of tractors, good conversation and music on Saturday as the Bluevale Community Committee hosted a tractor pull at the Bluevale Ball Diamond. Proceeds from the event will go to Bruce and CJ Casemore, who lost their home to a fire recently.
