The Antique Engine & Tractor Association Collector's Club annual Tractor Drive is set for Friday, July 19.

Drivers will meet at the AETA showgrounds, 13451 IL-92, Geneseo, at 8 a.m. There will be a driver’s meeting and flag-raising before leaving at 9 a.m.

The trek around Henry and Whiteside Counties is approximately 30 miles, with a rest stop at the halfway point. The tractor convoy will return to the showgrounds around 1 p.m.

Free rolls, drinks, and a sack lunch will be provided by sponsors. Donations will be accepted, with 100% of proceeds to go to the club.

Rules for the Tractor Drive: only one person per tractor allowed, unless equipped with a safe second seat. All drivers must have liability insurance and a valid driver’s license. Above all, be safe and have fun!
