Tractorcade in conjunction with Farm Aid

I wanted to let you know that Farm Aid is planning a small tractorcade (Farm Aid is calling it a tractor parade) in conjunction with the 20th anniversary concert in Chicago September 17, 2005. The plan is to start at City Hall in Chicago and go 4 miles to Grant Park where there will be a food festival. We are hoping to have 20 to 15 tractors.

The tractors should be hauled to City Hall and they will be loaded again about 5:00 p.m. at Grant Park to go to the Concert facility or home depending on what the farmer wants to do. I thought It would be great to have a tractor with AAM’s logo and a sign thanking Willie and Farm Aid for 20 years of helping farmers.

I have a few addresses in Illinois I plan on sending a letter to and see if anyone wants to participate. If anyone has any ideas or wants to try to locate a few tractors, let me know.
