The 13th Annual Tractor Ride rolled through Garretson on August 7th. The Gazette caught up with organizer Loren Konda post ride.
“This ride was a huge success,” he said. “We had drivers from South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. We had 37 tractors, 4 wagon riders, and we traveled 65 miles, raising $1,600 for the flood victims of Rock Valley!”
“Kibble Equipment gave us some very tasty donuts and coffee starting out, so I want to thank them for that and giving us a place to park and launch the ride from,” he said. “We had a fantastic lunch provided by C&B Edgerton, with a wonderful crew at Southwest Christian School serving it, and to top it off they had an ice cream machine! I want to thank everyone who helped and everyone who came out to our 13th tractor ride. We’re planning on August 6th 2025 for the next one, so hope to see you there!” See more photos below.
