(Atlantic) The WHO Radio Great Iowa Tractor Ride is celebrating its’ 25th ride with its’ home base in Atlantic. WHO Farm Director Bob Quinn says this is a community event. Quinn says they like to move the ride across the state and select home base sites based on Motel/Hotel room availability, and adequate County Fairgrounds.
The event features about 350 tractors.
On Monday, the tractor parade traveled 69.6 miles from the Cass County Fairgrounds to the Cumberland Fire Department, Griswold High School for lunch, Muller Livestock, and Atlantic.
Today, the route covers 69.5 miles from the Cass County Fairgrounds to the Exira/EHK High School, to VanWall Equipment in Avoca, to Dave’s Country Repair, and back to the Cass County Fairgrounds.
Wednesday’s final route covers 42.8 miles from the Cass County Fairgrounds to the CAM High School, through Wiota, and by the Tune-up Inn, the home of the great Maynard Hansen, who passed away in 2021. WHO Officials say Maynard was influential and never missed a WHO Great Iowa Tractor Ride.
