=== Tugfest ===
Tugfest is an annual three-day-long event in early August in which a rope is stretched across the Mississippi River from LeClaire, Iowa to [[Port Byron, Illinois|Port Byron]], Illinois. There are 10 men's teams of 20 and one woman's team of 25, that tug against each other. The team which pulls the most rope wins, and whichever state wins the most contests wins Tugfest. The event is also associated with a large [[fireworks]] display, live band, road [[racing|race]], [[carnival]] and food on both sides of the river.

Port Byron, the 2016 champion, holds an overall record of 19–11 in the competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tugfest.com|title=25 Annual Tug Fest|publisher=Iowa Tug Fest |access-date= April 19, 2011}}</ref>
