Register
for Lead the
Way Tractor Cruise
Ride and Live United
on Saturday, September 28th,
2013. Anyone with a tractor is invited to ride in the Darke County
United Way Tractor Cruise, and all of the community is invited to
come downtown Greenville to watch the tractors and enjoy shopping
locally. This event is being held in conjunction with Days of Harvest
in Downtown Greenville, the Gourd Show at the Fairgrounds, and
Prairie Days at Shawnee Prairie, so spend the entire weekend in
Greenville! The Tractor Cruise will be parading through town at 10
am, beginning at the Fairgrounds, traveling from Martz Street down
Fair Street to Washington, from Washington onto Broadway, around the
traffic circle, onto Main Street, and traveling back to the
fairgrounds via Chestnut St/Fort Jefferson Ave. We would like to
give special thanks to the City of Greenville and Darke County
Agricultural Society for help with this event.
This is an exciting
event bringing the heart of Darke County, agriculture, into the
United Way’s event to help those in need, our seniors, our youth,
and those seeking self-sufficiency. Last year we had forty tractors
involved and would love to have at least fifty this year. Please
call the United Way office at 937-547-1272 to register. Registration
is $15 and all proceeds support the Darke County United Way’s local
programs to strengthen education, health and stability. We encourage
all riders to collect pledges for the United Way. There will be
prizes for the largest amount of pledges collected. Please register
today. We would like to have registrations turned in a week before
the event. Pledges can be turned in to the United Way office on
Friday, September 27th
or the morning of the ride. If you are riding please meet at the
fairgrounds at 8am on Sept. 28th
for registration.
We are so pleased to
bring Darke County this event together with our amazing sponsors
including: Farmers State Bank, Andersons Ethanol LLC, Medicine and
More, Farm Power of the Past, Cornerstone Construction, SISCO –
Superior Implement & Supply Co, and Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln
Mercury. If your business would like to help sponsor this event,
please call the United Way office. Bring the kids and your families
out and see the tractors cruise through downtown Greenville on
Saturday, September 28th
at 10 am.
