8th Annual Tractor Ride a Success

Date:

Pictured is Garretson’s 8th annual tractor ride, turning from Main Ave. onto 4th street, headed east to Minnesota to Split Rock Creek Park in Pipestone County, MN.

The 8th Annual Garretson Tractor Ride rolled into action on Friday, Aug. 9. Launching from Kibble Equipment in Garretson after breakfast pizza and coffee, tractor enthusiasts from the tri-state area hit the open road, journeying to Split Rock Creek State Park in Pipestone County MN, where they had lunch and took a tour of the park.

“We had 34 tractors this year, the biggest ride to date,” said organizer Loren Konda. “It was a good ride and a beautiful park, and they were great hosts. Lot of really good comments this year. Very pleased with how it turned out!”
