Touch-A-Tractor April 10-12 in St. Charles

The Kane County Farm Bureau invites all to the 10th annual Touch-A-Tractor event from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, April 10, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12, on the front lawn of the Kane County Farm Bureau, 2N710 Randall Road, Randall Road at Oak Street, St. Charles. Admission is free.

The event benefits the Kane County Farm Bureau Foundation Ag Literacy and Scholarship Programs.

Kids can sit in the seat of an antique tractor, see modern farm equipment, participate in hands-on activities, ride pedal tractors, shell corn, see farm animals, and enter for a free chance to win their very own pedal tractor. As part of the Harvest for ALL hunger relief effort, bringing nonperishable food items to the event earns visitors an extra entry in the pedal tractor drawing. Food will be donated to a local food pantry. Refreshments will be offered to help raise funds for the KCFB Foundation.

The KCFB Foundation will sell tickets for the 2015 Winner's Choice Raffle. The grand prize winner will choose from one of three IH antique tractors: 1953 Farmall Super C, 1961 IH 240 Utility, or 1947 Farmall Super A, or a John Deere riding lawn mower, or $2,500 in cash. Second prize is $500 in groceries, third prize is $500 in fuel and fourth prize is $250 in Kane County Farm Bureau Bucks. Tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25. The Winners Choice Raffle is the primary fundraiser for KCFB Foundation college scholarships.

Scholarship recipients for 2015 will be announced at a ceremony at the conclusion of the event Sunday, April 12.
