I haven't participated in a tug-of-war since the mid/late 1960's when I was at field day in junior high.

This Saturday (11/8/08) I pick up the rope again as part of a team from News Channel 7.

And on the other end of the rope will be a FedEx 727!

We're flexing our muscles in the "Plane Pull for Preemies," a fundraiser for the March of Dimes.

The event is at 10 a.m. at the FedEx terminal at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. Our turn to show the 727 who's boss is at 10:20.

The FedEx facility is easy to find. From Interstate 85, take Highway 101 toward Greer, pass BMW, and FedEx will be on the left.

The News Channel 7 team includes meteorologists Richard McCollough and Justin Cooper, plus men and women from other departments at the station.

We're gonna put a whuppin' on that plane! It's gonna roll!

Come see us, and help the March of Dimes.
