TAZEWELL, Va. — Travis Lyon drove the support truck for his 1987 Kenworth K100E from Kingsport, Tenn., for the truck show at the Tazewell County Fair. Lyon’s K100E isn’t just another “Kitty Whopper,” to haul freight up and down the super-slab. Instead, the cab-over KW is a Transformer “Decepticon Motormaster,” that represents a year’s worth of restoration and fabrication on a truck that combines Lyon’s love of trucks with his love of transformers.
While the truck show part of the fair was wrapping up Saturday afternoon, the horse pulling competition was about to start at the show ring. Sam Bailey brought his team of Belgium horses, Pat and Shorty, from Hampton, Tenn., to compete.
“We still use them quite a bit,” Bailey said of his work horses. He summed up their chances of pulling home a blue ribbon in three words, “Fair, I guess,” he said.
