Article on the Tractor Tour 4/26/13 by Phil Drees On April 26 th, four Model As and three modern cars went to the town of Oregon House to Eventful Farms to see a collection of tractors. The day was beautiful and the scenery was spectacular, wild flowers galore and everything in spring green. Eventful Acres, had been freshly mowed and simply gorgeous. We jumped onto a hay wagon and were pulled to several different stops to see and learn about different tractors and how they contributed to farming and the raising of crops as it is done today. Three brave souls chose to play some tractor games and Ted was actually able to balance a tractor on a teeter-totter devise. From Eventful Acres we went to St. Francis Lake, in the town of Dobbins, where we enjoyed a pizza lunch. The lake was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Lucero Winery was our next stop just up the road from the Lake. It is a small family operated winery and we were hosted by Marion and Dan Lucero, the owners. We were treated to some wine tasting as well as cookies and brownies. There is nothing wrong with washing down some brownies with a little Cabernet. All in all it was an eventful wonderful day even if you aren t into tractors, pizza or wine. It was such a great day to out and about in the As Leaders were Phil and Mary Lou Drees. The followers were: Aaron and Adler Johnson, Bill and Karen Mitchell, Marty Clampitt, Larry and Denia Hubbard, Bob Whiting, Weldon and Irene Travis, Louise and Ted Baerresen. Pictures are on pages 7 and 8. Gra-Neva Gram 4.
