Carmen Hubbell will be parade marshal on August 11.
Plan to be there!


In June the Quasqui committee hosted a mid-morning stopover for KICD Tractor Ride participants. Committee member Al Minkler salutes drivers as they head out.


While committee members served doughnuts and coffee, tractors arrived in waves to the delight of onlookers. If anyone remembers a day when there were so many tractors in Plover, be sure to let us know!


Among those stopping by to enjoy all the action was dedicated tractor enthusiast Evan Akridge of Mallard, with his parents Sheila (pictured) and Luke. Anna Mae and Joe Shimon of Plover are Evan’s grandparents.
