Great Lakeshore Tractor Rally returns Saturday

Depending on where you're headed in Kewaunee County on Saturday, you could encounter a rainbow of antique tractors along your route.

 

For more than 20 years, Agricultural Heritage and Resources Inc. has organized the Great Lakeshore Tractor Rally, giving farmers and agriculture enthusiasts a chance to see 35 miles of Kewaunee County countryside from the comfort of a tractor seat or wagon.

 

Agricultural Heritage and Resources Inc. board member Bill Roethle said many farmers and tractor enthusiasts work hard to restore and maintain their antique and vintage machinery, only to have it sit unused in a barn. The Great Lakeshore Tractor Rally changes that for at least a few hours each year.

The route begins and ends at Homestead Kitchen and Tap in Algoma and follows roads south of Highway 54 and east of County Road E. Stops at the Muskrat Sportsman's Club and Heim's Hillcrest Dairy are scheduled along the way.

 

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., with the ride starting at 8:30 a.m. Proceeds from the $40 event will support the work of Agricultural Heritage and Resources Inc.0

 

Roethle said the organization is working to put more of its collection of agricultural implements manufactured in Kewaunee County on display.
