Follow the big wheels to the 2021 American Legion Tractor Show

Residents knew something had to be up on Friday morning, Sept. 24, when they noticed just as many tractors as cars out on the roads leading into Stockbridge. After two solid days of rain in the area, the sun found its way back out just in time to welcome tractor owners and visitors to the 2021 Tractor Show. The event was sponsored by the Sons of the Legion from the Mackinder Glenn American Legion Post 510 in Stockbridge. Photos by Gary Hicks.
