Tour will commence again and continue until about 4 p.m. Tractors will gather at Hill Farm, home of Phil and Jean Weinheimer for a club-member supper.

Tractor will tour again about 6 p.m. to return to the ferry landing for departure at 7:35 p.m. Good viewing locations include the ferry landing, village, community center and along Port Stanley Road in Swifts Bay and along Fisherman Bay

Road and Bayshore Road on the peninsula. Routes and schedule are being planned and will be announced. Organizers on Lopez include Ken Rose, Bob Burt, Phil Weinheimer and Jim Smith. Volunteers will help with roadside flagging, parking and preparing and serving supper.
