(La Porte County, IN) - A lot of antique farm tractors are on display at the La Porte County Fair, which runs through Saturday.

 

One of them is a 1958 Ford Power Master owned by Justin Fogus.  His mother in-law, Lisa Mills, and her husband placed their three year old granddaughter, Adelyn, behind the wheel of her daddy’s tractor while it was parked yesterday near Pioneer Land.  They seemed to relish in taking pictures of the girl seated on the refurbished tractor.

 

“It’s pretty cool.  She’s our first granddaughter,” she said.

 

Mills said her 27 year old son in-law restored the tractor while in the 4-H youth program.

 

“He stripped it down and painted it and everything,” she said.

 

Mills said her daughter, Haley, was also in 4-H and he would help transport some of the materials to the fairgrounds along with other items she needed to illustrate the projects she worked on in the 4-H program.

 

“It’s kind of cool to bring kids up at the fair,” she said.

 

The antique tractor parade at the fair is scheduled Thursday at 6 p.m.
