Antique Tractor Drive Planned for Wayne County Illinois

Written by admin on July 22, 2009 – 11:36 pm -

The Wayne County Tractor Drive, scheduled for Monday, Sept. 7 (Labor Day), will be an opportunity for antique tractor lovers from southern Illinois to showcase their collections.
All tractors that are model year 1979 or earlier (30 years of age or older) are welcome to participate.
The planned route for the drive will begin north of Geff at Grainergy Farms on U.S. 45. The tractors will head south on the highway to the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Fairfield.
The public can join the drivers there for lunch and talk one on one about the tractors and their history. Lunch will be sold by the Wayne County FFA Chapters.
The tractors will depart the fairgrounds at 2 p.m. The planned route will take tractors past the Brookstone Estates and the Way-Fair nursing home; then heading east through Leo French Park and north on Enterprise/Clay City Road. The route will take the tractors west through rural Wayne County to Geff, and then north on U.S. 45 to finish at Grainergy Farms.
Recognition will be given for the oldest tractor, oldest driver and the driver who traveled the furthest to be at the event. A picture will be taken of each tractor and driver while at the fairgrounds. Pictures will be e-mailed to the drivers.
Registration is $20 per tractor if registered by Aug. 15. After Aug. 15, registration is $30.
Registration forms are available through the Wayne County Farm Bureau at area implement dealerships, or can be sent by mail by calling 618-842-3342.
Net proceeds of the Wayne County Tractor Drive will go to the Wayne County Ag in the Classroom program.
