Spring '24 Tractor Ride
Join us for the Spring Tractor Ride in the Cherry Springs / Cherry Mountain area of Gillespie county. We will be departing from Cherry Springs traveling the scenic Hill Country on quiet back roads stopping for lunch at the historic Cherry Mountain Schoolhouse while enjoying the fellowship of fellow tractor enthusiasts before driving back to our starting place. REGISTER by April 7th to ensure $50 Registration
​
Registration opens at 8am. A mandatory Driver's Meeting will be held at 8:30am, outlining our safety procedures and goals for the day. We also provide a "Sag Wagon" that consists of a 30 foot gooseneck trailer with ramps and a wench, a skilled mechanic with various tools, and extra fuel or oil that will follow the tractors to provide assistance to those that experience problems. We realize these older machines have a mind of their own and occasionally have the will to stop working at an event as exciting as this. Antique vehicles other than tractors are welcome (i.e. automobiles, trucks, etc.). Please understand, the speed on the tractor ride will be determined by the slowest vehicle and will probably only be about 5 MPH. A noon BBQ meal will be served to all paid participants! Local "BBQ artists" treat us with great flavor and we offer up plenty of good old-fashioned fellowship during our lunch break. The cost of the ride will be $50.00 in advance, $60.00 the day of the ride. There is a reduced cost of $20.00 for youth participants between the ages of 16 and 19, holding a current driver’s license. The cost for the meal alone will be $15.00.
