Sixty-five tractors of various colors, sizes and ages rolled across eastern Rock County Friday for this year’s annual Tractor Ride.
Weather on Friday was a perfect, sunny 75 degrees, with blue skies and mild breezes.
Special to the 2020 event were white “facial” coverings tied in front of tractors to recognize the coronavirus pandemic.
Rodger Ossenfort, Ken Vos and Jerry Mann helped organize the event that last year drew 90 tractors.
On Friday the group traveled to Lismore via back roads to and from the Luverne City Park, where the ride begins and ends.
To join, tractors must be able to travel 12 miles per hour, have no dual wheels and display a “slow moving vehicle” sign.
Social distancing was observed at the noon box lunch gathering at the Lismore City Park and at the ice cream social at the end of the ride at the Luverne City Park.
