Tractor Supply’s “Follow Us to the Fair” Tour to Embark on Cross-Country Journey
May 23 2018 - 1:00PM
Fair season is back! That means Tractor Supply’s “Follow Us to the
Fair” Tour is once again embarking on an 11,000-mile cross-country
journey to state and county fairs, making 24 stops in 14 states
over the next six months. The tour will recognize more than 100 4-H
and FFA youth who are making a difference in their local
communities.
Now in its fourth year, the nation’s largest
rural lifestyle retailer is sending its road team on an excursion
that begins June 1 in Kentucky and concludes Nov. 10 in Nevada.
In addition to family-friendly activities and
opportunities to win prizes, the “Follow Us to the Fair” Tour will
celebrate local 4-H and FFA youth through Tractor Supply’s second
annual “Great Neighbor” Essay Contest. This year’s competition
encouraged youth to submit a short essay detailing how a memorable
4-H or FFA experience has influenced their development as a great
neighbor in their community.
“Fairs have a longstanding tradition of bringing
people of all ages together to celebrate the local community and
the key role that agriculture plays within it,” said Christi
Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply
Company. “The ‘Follow Us to the Fair’ Tour seeks to preserve this
tradition while adding family fun to the experience. The ‘Great
Neighbor’ Essay Contest is an added layer that lets us recognize
the incredible work 4-H and FFA youth are doing all across the
country.”
Tractor Supply selected local winners at each
fair to be honored during a special ceremony. In addition to a
commemorative plaque, contest winners will walk away with a special
Tractor Supply gift pack.
The 2,000 sq. ft. traveling exhibit will give
fairgoers the opportunity to experience the excitement of “Life Out
Here” through a variety of entertainment options, including music,
interactive games and ways to win prizes. Attendees will have the
chance to test their abilities on a strength game, have their free
photo taken on a bucking bull, race to “feed the animals” in a bean
bag toss, take home huge prizes and participate in fun, educational
activities.
