            Organizer Loren Konda was as pleased as was possible for him to be on Friday, Aug. 11th.

            “I’m super happy right now,” he said. “We had the biggest turnout for the Garretson tractor ride that we’ve ever had with forty-two tractors! We had five brand new riders who’d never visited us before. Everything went off without a hitch and the weather was absolutely perfect for it!”
