TRACTOR PARADE COMING TO ELKMONT

Elkmont, Elkmont, what do you see?
I see tractors, red, blue and green.

You never know what you will find happening in downtown Elkmont. The Annual Piney Chapel American Farm Heritage Days will be coming to visit for Friday's lunch. The Tractor Parade to Elkmont is always a fun thing to see. They will leave Piney Chapel around 10 am, August 7 and come down Elkton road and along Sandlin. The ride will continue to Beulah Road, right on New Bethel and then on to Fort Hampton Road to the town of Elkmont for lunch at the Elkmont Ball Fields/Park. Here is the route; be looking for them.

The tractors come two by two, to eat at Elkmont (lunch provided by the Limestone County Cattemen's Association) before returning to the showgrounds in Piney Chapel. Upon leaving Elkmont, the ride will resume onto the Richard Martin Trail (Rails to Trails). Once off the trail, the ride will head east on Carey Road to Elkton Road for the final stretch back to the show grounds at approximately 1:30 p.m.
