2010 Route


Looks like we have finally settled on a route for the tractorcade.
We have a few obstacles to overcome this year. The driveway and parking lot behind the JD Tech building will be torn up this year and the loading dock will be unavailable. This also means that we will not be able to park in the shop or use the Ag Tech parking lot. We think we can use the lot behind the T&I building and part of the parking lot north of the T & I building. If you nead a dock we will try to find one for you to use.
