THE SINGING FARMER - Dai Bassett
Dai Bassett, The Singing Farmer, started his career in entertainment in the late 1980's. Writing his own material - with hilarious songs and poems - gives Dai the freedom to bring to his audiences wit and sharp comedy talent that this amiable Welshman possesses.
Experienced in public speaking and providing clean, humorous entertainment-to a wide range of audiences. Please refer to his web site- his act is unique, due to his Welsh culture and background. Dai regularly receives considerable acclaim for his apparent talent as an EM.CEE.-people in Canada seem to really enjoy his voice as a speaker.
Dai branched into broadcasting in 2007, and now has his own daily radio show on the Ottawa Valley's favorite radio station, CJHR 98.7FM - Valley Heritage Radio.
Equally at home in a tuxedo as the master of ceremonies, in a cap and rubber 'wellie' boots as The Singing Farmer.

We are the only Mini Rod Pulling Club in Ontario
What is a Mini Rod? The sport of Tractor pulling has evolved over the years and began with farm tractors out of the field. However, it is represented today in a variety of forms. A Mini Rod doesn't look like a tractor. They have a homemade chassis powered by an automotive engine. We are unique from other clubs because all of our classes use V8 automotive engines such as, CHEVY DODGE FORD
The OMRPA runs our pull a little different from most tractor & truck pulls. Usually at a tractor pull you have a class of tractors that come out and pull in a certain weight class. In that class they will have there first hook and then any who "FULL PULL" will come back in a "PULL OFF" to determine the winner. When they are done pulling in that class they add more weight to there tractors and then come out again in a different weight class and do it again. In this case you may see the same tractor pull 4 or 5 times.
OMRPA has three classes, each Mini Rod will get a "QUALIFYING" hook in there class. Then only the top Mini Rod distances will return and compete again in the "PULL OFF" for their class.
