Mike Rockefeller of Saranac attempts to retake first place in a wheelbarrow race by pushing Keeseville resident Jessica Finnegan to the finish line after loading up 10 shovels full of dirt in the wheelbarrow and dumping it at the fifth-annual Dozer Day event at Airborne Speedway Saturday. Despite rainy weather, nearly 1,500 people turned out for the event, where children had a chance to operate several pieces of heavy machinery, including bulldozers, backhoes and cranes. All proceeds, which totaled about $10,000, will be donated to children's charities in the area. Bonus photos are available at www.pressrepublican.com.(P-R Photo/Gabe Dickens)
