Katie Hintzsche, right, and Laura Ramirez, both of Mt. Morris, race to push a roughly 700-pound straw bale across the finish line during StrawFest Day in Mt. Morris on Aug. 27. Their aim was a bit off, and they almost ran into the 102.3 The Coyote tent. They weren’t the only straw bale racers to do so. The races were just one activity at the U.S. National Straw Sculpting Competition. Story on page 9.
