To the Editor:

We wanted to write and let you know about the most awesome experience we have ever had. We were among the 600-plus tractors September 12 that paraded through Mackinaw City, over the Mighty Mac, through downtown St Ignace, and ended at the Kewadin Shores Casino. Wow, this was equivalent to an extreme sport! What a rush to be on the Mackinac Bridge on an antique tractor. My husband drove a 1949 John Deere B, I drove a 1941 John Deere B, and our son drove a 1953 Farmall Super H.

The Mackinac Bridge Authority, Mackinac County Sheriff, Mackinaw City Police, St. Ignace Police, Kewadin Shores Casino, Owosso Tractor Parts, and especially the people who cheered us on made this historic event a memory for our family.

God bless you all. See you next year. Kim, Beverly, and James Smith Stockbridge
