Farmers and tractor enthusiasts can dust off their antique and classic tractors for a great cause as ABN Radio announces the inaugural Great Buckeye Tractor Cruise. The Great Buckeye Tractor Cruise takes place in scenic Auglaize and Mercer counties on Saturday, July 25th.
Proceeds from the cruise benefit Camp Quality, an Akron-based organization that serves children diagnosed with terminal cancer and provides a support system for their families.
The near 40-mile tour will parade drivers of antique and classic tractors around the scenic area near Grand Lake St. Marys and through the countryside.
The cruise will depart the Mercer County Fairgrounds at 9 a.m. tour the Grand Lake St. Marys Region with a stop at the Shrine of the Holy Relics for lunch.
The tour concludes in Mercer County where drivers can participate in the annual Celina Lake Festival Parade.
