One of the most unusual competitions in the state is held at the Emerson PurpleHull Pea Festival in Columbia County: the World Championship Rotary Tiller Race. What started as a simple competition in 1990 has evolved into a race with several different categories, including one for children. Shown here is R. J. Hughey of Stephens (Ouachita County) participating in the children’s division in 2002.
