I just got back from the bank here in Spring Grove after being delayed by lots and lots of old farm tractors going down Meyer Road toward Horse Fair Park, I imagine. The police had traffic on US-12 stopped and it eventually became one huge line, probably a couple miles long. It was the McHenry County Annual Tractor Trek.
I wasn't in it, fortunately, but couldn't proceed to a couple other places I wanted to go to, so just parked the '85 Firebird, got out and watched the procession.
How often do you get to see a whole lot of antique tractors go by. Of course, McHenry County, Illinois, is known for its farms and agriculture, so this is of special importance. Every year, there are a lot of tractors in the Spring Grove 4th of July parade as well.
Had I known about it earlier, I would have been there for the whole parade, as I figure I only caught the tail end of it.
