Tractor Drawing
We decided to give away a John Deere tractor during the festival. We buy a brand new John Deere tractor each year. It is usually around a 45HP tractor with loader and blade. This was a huge hit and continues to be. There are only 449 tickets sold. They are $100 each. We also give away $3,500 in cash prizes during the drawing. If you do not want to take the tractor there is a $14,000 cash option you can take. We draw out every ticket. The very first ticket drawn wins $500. Then every 25th ticket drawn after that either wins $100 or $200. The 449th ticket wins $500 and the 450th ticket drawn is the winner of the tractor! This process usually takes around 2-3 hours to determine all the winners. This is held during the festival and always has a big crowd as the drawing is going on.
Our next tractor raffle will be held during the 2023 Festival on Saturday, September 9th.
Parade
Our parade will be making it's way through town at 3pm on Sunday, September 10th.
